Downhill skiing in Gaspésie

Skiing down the slopes as a family

In Gaspésie, the ski resorts offer an ideal setting for family outdoor vacations. Each location features a range of runs, from beginner slopes to expert terrain, including snow parks. Alpine touring areas are also available at several sites, allowing visitors to try backcountry skiing in a safe environment.

On-site activities such as snowshoeing, cross-country skiing, sledding, or skating are often offered and can turn a ski trip into a multi-activity getaway. To make planning easier and leave more time to enjoy the outdoors, many resorts have restaurants and lodging right at the base of the slopes.

With typically abundant natural snowfall, these human-scale ski resorts become great places to fully enjoy winter.
