Ingonish Winterfest: Sunday, February 16

Not ready to welcome the winter just yet? Destination Cape Breton has you covered. Why not check out a local accommodation with a hot tub or a jacuzzi?

Embark on a coastal adventure to Cape Breton Island and discover a world where coastal beauty meets serene seascapes.

Snowshoe your way through the beautiful hills, valleys and mountains of Cape Breton Island. Winter is no time to hibernate, with so many amazing trails to choose from you'll be way too busy to sleep!

While chasing waterfalls is good for the body, mind and spirit there are a few things you should remember before hitting the trails to ensure you have a great time and make it back home safely!

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.

Snow Covered mountains.  Forests and fields blanketed with fresh layers of snow, your winter adventure just waiting to be explored.  Cape Breton’s hiking trails and scenic routes are like works of art from mother nature’s winter palate. 

Not interested in camping? Why not try glamping? Stay in a Mongolian Yurt or a luxury geometric dome, sleep out in the stars or watch the ocean from your cliffside accommodation.

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.
