Clermont blends riverfront living with mountain energy, where the Malbaie River cuts through town and weekend plans often point toward the wilderness. Locals prize quick access to the dramatic peaks and glassy waters of Parc national des Hautes-Gorges-de-la-Rivière-Malbaie, a spectacular SEPAQ park with famed summits and lookouts for hikers, paddlers, and leaf-peepers alike. When snow falls, carving turns at Ski Mont Grand-Fonds is a community ritual, while shoulder seasons invite scenic rides aboard the Train de Charlevoix and culture-filled visits to the Musée de Charlevoix.
Life here balances small-town convenience with destination-worthy amenities. Evenings can mean a fine meal followed by a stop at the Casino de Charlevoix, and day trips are effortless to nearby La Malbaie for waterfront strolls or to art-forward Baie-Saint-Paul. Outdoor lovers also branch out to Parc national des Grands-Jardins for rugged trails and wildlife viewing. Year-round, Clermont’s setting within Charlevoix-Est makes it easy to trade between quiet neighborhood streets and big-sky adventure.
Families appreciate practical advantages: neighborhood schools served by the regional network, plus post-secondary options at the Cégep de Charlevoix. The local economy is rooted in manufacturing and tourism, with regional employers and entrepreneurs fueling steady opportunity. Whether you’re relocating for work, sizing up to a riverside home, or streamlining your lifestyle, Clermont offers the right mix of services, scenery, and community spirit.
