Parc national de la Gaspésie

Park Experience

A Sea of Mountains

Parc national de la Gaspésie is a real sea of mountains in the heart of the Gaspé Peninsula. Its topography and climate attract a wide variety of living species unique in Québec and even the world. Two mountain ranges cover the park's territory: the Chic-Chocs mountains, a name well-known among outdoor enthusiasts, including Mont Albert and Mont Logan, and on the East side, the McGerrigle mountains, including the highest peak in southern Quebec, Mont Jacques-Cartier. These massifs gather more than 25 peaks above 1000 m. The panorama is breathtaking! Summer and winter alike, this vacation destination guarantees visitors an unforgettable experience.
