Due to road washouts, Parks Canada is currently repairing a portion of the Cabot Trail on North Mountain. If you are planning on travelling around the Cabot Trail please be aware that you will not be able to travel from Cape North to Pleasant Bay via North Mountain.
Fill your bucket list this winter with adventure, experiences and views. Check out these 8 must do bucket list items!
Extensive trails. Drive-up eateries. Cozy accommodations. Cut a powdery path across highland mountains and coastal plains to lose yourself in the white dusted beauty of winter in all her glory.
Trek your way to familiarity. Get to know every silvery inch of Cape Breton Island in the winter through winding trails, rugged headlands, ice-covered waterfalls, and peaceful woods.
See the unforgettable sights of Nova Scotia’s ocean playground from the air. From our rugged coastlines to our snowy trails, you won’t want to miss out on this.
Four cross-country ski facilities. Hundreds of trails to discover. Glide around beautiful sea vistas, bound across golf courses, and challenge yourself on the only serviced Telemark hill in the Maritimes.
Shred powder while overlooking Canada’s only inland ocean. Bound down Nova Scotia’s tallest alpine peak, high above the North Atlantic. Here, the mountain meets the ocean—literally.
Cape Breton Island is open and our locals are waiting for you. Connect yourself to the heartbeat of mother earth while experiencing a Medicine Walk or work with a local artisan and create your own unique piece.
Not even the cold can dull the warmth of our Island. Embrace winter with a snowy farm stay or escape to an authentic Mongolian yurt set in the vast wilderness of the Cabot Trail.
Cozy up for an après ski ale alongside the Bras d’Or Lake. Defrost over a steaming bowl of fresh chowder. Tuck into a hearty Dutch Pannekoek (pancake) before embarking on a wintery trek across the Cabot Trail. The air may might be chilly but our winter hospitality is warm.
