The Tuonela Trail, founded in 1997, boasts the maritimes only serviced Telemark hill. Located in the snow belt of Cape Breton, it was discovered in the late 80s by two avid backcountry skiers, Chris and Tim. It has been developed over the last ten years, with help from local skiers.
The Telemark Hill with an elevation of 900ASL, has a 1400ft run over a 400ft vertical. There are steep black diamond chutes at the top followed by a majestic run through a spaced maple and birch forest. Access to the top of the Telly Hill is by the groomed trail, snowshoes or climbing skins when the Telemark Hill is open. The 25km of x-country trails are groomed on a regular basis. Designed mainly for classic technique, some are wide enough to permit skating.
The Millenium Trail, with its 9 ungroomed switchback bends from the Peligroso Loop to the Xriss-Xross is a challenge for skiers of any level. Xriss-Xross for the 2006 season was totally redesigned and runs along ridges beetween sink holes. Along with its spectacular views of St. Anns Bay the Top of the World loop leads to the top of the Telemark Hill and accesses the NDP trail, the ultimate in black diamond fun. It is a groomed trail with steep sections, hairpin bends, and brings you right back into the Village. OutThere.com which leads from The Hearth back to Round the Knoll, was cut in 2005 and is on the top of the highlands plateau. New for 2008 is the Manchester Loop which is an easy 1 km warm-up loop to & from the Village.. Whatever level of skier you are, we have something for you.

Hannah Krebs works as a ban-chleasaiche | Gaelic Cultural Animator at Baile na Gàidheal | Highland Village Museum. Gaelic language, music, and square dances are some of her favourite things about Cape Breton.
Shannon MacMullin is a Gàidhlig learner, singer and storyteller; a community educator, and the Cultural Experiences Co-ordinator at Baile nan Gàidheal | Highland Village. She loves dancing, making beauty in the world & bringing people together.
The Gaels celebrated their culture not in huge buildings or sculptures but in their songs. Their songs told the stories of the people, the land, good times and bad, love's lost and yearned for.
There’s nothing better than watching two musicians who just love playing music together.
As a songwriter, I’ve often described my creative process as though I have tuned into an invisible radio frequency.
It is well-established that dance tradition is an important, if not defining, influence on Cape Breton's traditional music.
