Are you looking for some easy hikes to try out this fall? Well we've got just the five for you to add to your must-dos during your trip to Cape Breton Island this fall!

Cape Breton Island is renowned for its breathtaking landscapes, and when winter descends, the island transforms into a wonderland of snow-covered trails, frosted trees, and serene vistas.

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.

Read through and see how many places, views, and experiences you can check off from this Epic Winter Bucket List!

Tap your toes to fiddle tunes at a Ceilidh. See authentic Acadian crafts at Les Trois Pignons. Take a piece of Mi’kmaq culture home with you at a drum-making workshop. On Cape Breton Island, culture is all around you just waiting to be explored!

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.
