The first time I went to this place
The Gaspe is beautiful from Trois-pistoles on out. My visit was during the winter for some backcountry snowboarding and skiing. Not for the faint of heart, as every ascent is accomplished by putting one foot ahead of the other and you are your own sherpa. However, each turn in the untracked snow on Mont Albert and Hogback is worth a thousand steps. The accomodations and food at Gite du Mont Albert are outstanding and very reasonable. They also have an in-house guide to assist with transceivers and other aspects of your adventures.

Introduction to Gaspe Peninsula
November 20, 2006
The southern bank of the St. Lawrence sweeps north and then eastward toward the Atlantic. At the river's mouth, the thumb of land called Gaspé Peninsula -- Gaspésie in French -- pokes into the Gulf of St. Lawrence. The Gaspé is a primordial region heaped with aged, blunt hills covered with hundreds of square miles of woodlands. Over much of its northern perimeter, their slopes fall directly into the sea. Winter here is long and harsh, making the crystal days of summer all the more precious. The fishing villages huddled around the coves cut from the coast are as sparsely populated as they've always been, with many of the young residents moving inland toward brighter lights (unemployment in the region is close to 30%). Left behind are the crash of the surf, eagles and elk in the high grounds, and timber to be harvested gingerly by lumber companies.
