A veritable sea of mountains with 27 peaks over 1,000 meters high, Gaspésie National Park, located in the heart of the Gaspé Peninsula, is distinguished by the great diversity of its flora and fauna. In summer, hiking is a favorite with some 140 km of trails. From December to April, it becomes a flagship winter outdoor activity destination in Quebec due to the region’s exceptional snowfall.
In summer, on the shores of Lake Cascapédia, four chalets offer a comfortable and peaceful stay. In winter, four chalets located in the Petit Saut sector welcome you on the banks of the Sainte-Anne River, away from the busy trails. Also, the Madeleine Mines chalet, located at the foot of the snow-covered tubs, is a favorite with snow sports enthusiasts.
The 7 mountain huts at the Mont-Albert campsite offer accommodations close to short hiking trails, both in summer and winter. Nine other mountain huts are also available for long hikes. Four campsites are located along major attractions, as well as an RV park.
