BAIE-ST-PAUL SIGHTSEEING TOUR FIELD GUIDE
Fifteen minutes above Charlevoix: mountains, crater and a hidden waterfall beneath your feet
A short heli-excursion that soars over Parc National des Grands-Jardins, the Charlevoix crater, scattered lakes and a more-than-12‑metre waterfall — useful for travelers who want a concentrated view of the region.
Fifteen minutes above Charlevoix: mountains, crater and a hidden waterfall beneath your feet.
The 50 KM • Les montagnes à vos pieds flight lifts you above the folded ridges and open farm rangs of Charlevoix for an intense 15‑minute circuit: a sweep over the edges of Parc National des Grands‑Jardins, the broad bowl of the Charlevoix crater, numerous lakes and, on the return, a waterfall exceeding 12 metres in height.

Outing Highlights
Parc National des Grands‑Jardins from the air
The route carries you to the approaches of Parc National des Grands‑Jardins, offering aerial perspectives on its rugged forests and highland plateaus that are otherwise reached on foot.
The Charlevoix crater revealed
From the helicopter you can take in the scale of the Charlevoix crater — the distinctive geological bowl that shapes the region’s valleys and waterways.
A returning view of a 12‑metre cascade
On the return leg the pilot routes the aircraft to show a waterfall exceeding 12 metres in height, a dramatic vertical punctuation after views of lakes and rural land below.
What the day feels like
What the 15‑minute flight feels like
