Les Hauteurs blends big-sky countryside with easy access to regional conveniences, making it an appealing choice for anyone seeking space, quiet, and community. Perched on the uplands of La Mitis, residents follow Route 234 to reach Mont-Joli and Rimouski for work, college, and shopping, while Amqui anchors scenic weekend drives into the Matapédia Valley.
Outdoorsy households will find plenty to love. Forest roads and multi-use trails thread through lakes and mixed woodlands, and unforgettable day trips are close by. Hike dramatic river gorges and cross one of the province’s largest suspension footbridges at the Canyon des Portes de l’Enfer, or watch seabirds and seals from rugged capes at Parc national du Bic. Garden lovers can wander heritage landscapes and world-class horticultural art at the Jardins de Métis / Reford Gardens, a signature attraction on the lower St. Lawrence.
Families are served by the Centre de services scolaire des Phares, with elementary options in neighboring municipalities and secondary programs in Mont-Joli. Healthcare is coordinated regionally by the CISSS du Bas-Saint-Laurent, with clinics and a hospital a short drive away.
