La Haute-Gaspésie County sets an irresistible stage where the St. Lawrence meets the Chic-Chocs, offering sea-to-summit living that feels both adventurous and down-to-earth. Weekends can swing from tidepooling and marine discovery at the acclaimed Exploramer to alpine vistas in Parc national de la Gaspésie, where hikers and skiers chase peaks and wildlife in a setting famed for its last remaining woodland caribou south of the river. Backcountry devotees find powder and solitude in the Réserve faunique des Chic-Chocs, while long-distance trekkers tackle sections of the Sentier International des Appalaches – Québec, a signature route threading valleys and ridgelines.
Families appreciate everyday essentials handled close to home, including primary and secondary schools supported by regional education networks and post-secondary pathways through the Cégep de la Gaspésie et des Îles, which offers programs and continuing education tailored to the coastal economy. Healthcare is anchored by the CISSS de la Gaspésie, connecting residents to clinics and community services across the peninsula. Festivals, local markets, and the creative energy showcased by Tourisme Gaspésie keep the calendar lively, while Route 132 turns everyday drives into scenic interludes.
