Parc national de la Gaspésie

The Parc national de la Gaspésie is a wonderful sea of mountains that gives access to an exceptional hiking environment. Escape through the International Appalachian Trail in the most stunning landscapes. The Gaspésie National Park is marked by bare peaks of more than 1000 meters of altitude and by snow that persists until the middle of summer. Whether you’re skiing, telemarking, snowshoeing or hiking, you will discover Arctic-alpine plants and tundra landscapes, which we luckily call home of the Gaspesie's caribou herd. The Chic-Chocs and McGerrigle Mountains, Mont Jacques-Cartier and Mont Albert are among the highest peaks that guarantee an unforgettable summer and winter experience.

In anticipation of the possible reopening of Sépaq's national parks, we wish to inform visitors that, upon reopening, they will have to purchase their daily access rights online before arriving in one of the national parks in the Sépaq system. The daily access right will have to be purchased online.

Rates in effect from May 1, 2020 to April 30, 2021:

Daily access: $8.90 (taxes included)
Annual pass for Quebec's national parks $80.25
