Book at La Malbaie

Welcome to La Secousse (La Malbaie hostel)

We promise you a magical view from morning to night. Our youth hostel overlooks the Saint Lawrence River from right in the middle of the town. Without stepping outside, you can sip micro-brews and savour local dishes on a terrace with a view of the river. Our bistro-pub is also part of the Flavour Trail. Whatever your budget, a cozy room awaits you. Count on us to help you discover the activities that Charlevoix offers, like sea kayaking, whale-watching cruises and hikes in the breathtaking Hautes-Gorges-de-la-Rivière-Malbaie and Grands-Jardins national parks.

We’re committed to celebrating our planet

We’re part of the Charlevoix Biosphere Reserve and we’re a member of organizations like “Ici on recycle”, Aventure éco tourisme Québec and the Charlevoix Flavour Trail. We go way beyond just recycling. We’re all about buying local, discovering epic natural spaces and keeping involved with the community. We continuously seek ways to reduce our footprint, and because we’re not shy about this, we publish our Bilan Carbone every year. We’ve earned our rep as a youth hostel that’s a model for sustainable tourism, and that warms our hearts.
