A Magical Seaside Christmas

Louisbourg is best known for its world class reconstruction of its 18th century Fortress, but it’s also a nature lover’s paradise!

There are two great ways to make your next trip to the Cape Breton Highlands National Park one you’ll never forget.

It's often heard around the island that there will be a ceilidh in this place, or that people are going to a ceilidh tonight, or will there be a ceilidh anywhere this weekend?

Many marvel at the breathtaking views Cape Breton has in the summertime, but have you ever truly appreciated unwinding in our gorgeous winter? These snowy escapes could become your new favourite way to recharge this season.

Cape Breton is known for its spectacular beauty, vibrant living cultures and outdoor adventure and this is especially so during our winters. Winter is no time to sit back and let the season pass you by, it's full of adventure, events and hospitality.

Cross country skiing in the highlands is definitely unlike any skiing we had done before. There’s no groomed track or perfectly flat terrain to ski, instead it’s an adventure in its own right every time we venture into the snowy highlands.

We all need some motivation to leave the house, put our boots on and hit the trails. Some do it to stay in shape, some do it to meet fellow hikers and some do it just to reconnect with Mother Nature.

Cape Breton is becoming one of the most sought after locations to Instagram in Canada. Use our hashtag #FallforCapeBreton to be entered into a great get away package!

One of our favourite parts of this hike is the sound of the river beside you as you wander through the forest and see the stunning mountains of the Highlands around you.
