Cross Country Skiing
Parc national de la Gaspésie offers 22 km of groomed cross country ski trails. The Mont-Albert sector receives over 3 m of snow annually. It is well-distributed between mid-December and mid-March, making for excellent snow conditions all winter long.
Backcountry Skiing – Short Excursions
For fans of backcountry skiing, we have 6 circuits that are marked but not groomed. Skiing speed may be reduced considerably if the snow is deep. This circuit’s level of difficulty may vary according to the trail you choose and snow conditions.
Backcountry Skiing – Overnight StayBackcountry skiing enthusiasts can practice this sport on over 190 km of marked trails. After a few hours out on the trail, why not stop at one of the 15 huts spread out along the network of trails? A baggage transport service between huts facilitates movements. For longer trips, we recommend skiing in groups of at least 3 people.
