Mount Olivine

Mount Olivine, in Gaspésie National Park in eastern Quebec, is part of the Chic-Choc Mountains and rises to 663 metres, with open summit views toward Mount Albert. Reached from the park’s Discovery and Visitors Center by way of La Grande Traversée and the Mont Olivine trail, it is an intermediate hike of 10.93 kilometres with 481 metres of elevation gain. The route begins gently along the Sainte-Anne River before becoming more demanding near Devil’s Fall. Distinctively, it is one of the few mountains in the area accessible by snowshoe in winter. Its name comes from olivine, a mineral reportedly found near Mount Albert, and the name was officially formalized in 1989.
