Chic-Chocs – Local adventure of the highest caliber

Did you know that when it comes to the quantity and quality of snow, the Gaspésie region has just as much to offer as the Rockies… and even the Alps?

Every winter, I make sure I have the time to enjoy a ski getaway in the Chic-Choc Mountains— mostly because Gaspésie never disappoints when it comes to providing fresh and abundant powder!

Get ready for some wild tree-lined trails and vertical drops that are sure to put your skills to the test. I personally would never venture off in these mountains without an avalanche expert and a guide, and that’s precisely why this group vacation is so perfect. You’ll be led by a seasoned guide, who will show you which trails to take based on your level, not to mention provide basic training on avalanche risks—all to ensure that your ski adventure is nothing but pure enjoyment! My vacations here have always lived up to the promise. I don’t know if it’s the Gaspésie area, the group spirit, the spectacular scenery, the charming and comfy Gîte du Mont-Albert, the quality of the skiing or even the amazing hot chocolate that makes this destination so special, but I do know one thing for sure—it will always keep me coming back!
