A relaxing winter vacation in a Scandinavian-inspired chalet is closer than you might think…

In winter, the Gaspésie Peninsula takes on a magical air. A sparkling blanket covers the wide-open spaces, the muffled sounds of winter make for a soothing ambience and immaculate snowbanks invite us to put on our boots and go outside, eager to leave tracks in the pristine landscape.

This is the perfect setting if you’re looking to slow down and spend a few days contemplating the beauty of the landscape and breathing in the fresh air. Renting one of the units at Chalets Nautika, located in front of the Gaspé Bay and about 30 minutes from the amazing winter playground that is Forillon National Park, is a dream opportunity to enjoy some quality time with your partner, friends or family.

Chalets designed for contemplation

Anyone who’s seen the landscapes of Gaspésie is sure to fall in love with them! So when you can choose a cottage that overlooks the bay from the top of a cliff, it really is a no-brainer!

Boasting Scandinavian-inspired architecture that highlights the inviting wooden structure, an incredible seaside location and large panoramic windows, all of the chalets offer breathtaking views of the vast landscapes. You’ll want to spend hours just contemplating, with a hot cup of coffee or tea in hand!

Practical features for a hassle-free vacation

Directly accessible from Route 132, the Nautika Chalets offer all the essentials and can comfortably accommodate up to 8 people (depending on the type of chalet you choose).

The kitchen is fully equipped for cooking delicious dinners... and enjoying them in good company! Several cottages have an electric fireplace so that you can warm up after some time outside in the cold air. Guests also appreciate the unlimited Wi-Fi for relaxing movie nights in.

There are also electric vehicle charging stations available, so you can recharge before setting off to explore the surrounding area.

A paradise for fans of outdoor sports and otherworldly scenery

Speaking of exploration, a trip to this part of Gaspésie would be incomplete without a visit to the Forillon National Park, located about 30 minutes from the cottages. A favourite spot for nature lovers, this national park has several winter trails to explore on snowshoes, fatbikes or cross-country skis. Equipment rental is available nearby thanks to a partner, the Centre culturel Le Griffon, and the snow-covered scenery is the stuff of dreams!

Thirty minutes from the chalets, in the other direction, is the village of Percé, home of the famous pierced rock – stunning under a beautiful white coat!

But you don't even have to go that far to see nature in all its splendour. From the lookout point near the chalets, you just might spot whales and seals as well as some of the species of birds (more than 300!) that can be found in the region!
