🌅 Best for: Scenic hiking, panoramic viewpoints, seeing Percé Rock from above
⏱️ Distance: ~10 km (shorter options available)
⛰️ Time: ~3 hours for the full loop
💡 Tip: Bring good trail shoes + snacks, and choose your route based on the viewpoints you want to see

During our Gaspésie trip, we hiked Mont Sainte-Anne in Percé — and it turned out to be a rewarding viewpoint. The hike is super flexible: you can choose a shorter route if you only want to reach the main lookout, or do the full ~10 km loop like we did to explore everything.

Along the way, you’ll pass by several highlights, including unique rock formations, forested paths, and open viewpoints. The final lookout is absolutely stunning — you get a postcard-perfect view of Percé Rock, the town, and the entire coastline. On the other side of the summit, you’re treated to wide open views of the rolling hills and the ocean stretching into the distance.

The trail is doable in a morning or afternoon depending on your schedule, and it’s not too technical, but I’d still recommend good shoes and a few snacks to enjoy at the top. It’s the perfect hike if you want a mix of effort, great scenery, and a big payoff at the summit.
