Bring your snowsuits and ski equipment, snow shoes, skates and cameras; you’re going to have a blast in Southwest Nova Scotia. Our cozy coastal oasis is the perfect place to escape during those long winter months.

We’re famous for our chilly winter climate, the perfect place to experience your favourite winter activities. Visit Kejimkujik National Park where the many nature trails transform into a snowy paradise, great for cross country skiing and snowshoeing. Stop at one of their cabins and enjoy a warm fire and hot chocolate while you gaze out onto a frozen lake. Our many rivers and lakes are perfect to skate on, but make sure to test the ice first.

Try your skills at Ski Martock, our downhill ski retreat and marvel at the view from the top of the mountain.

With the coming of Christmas, the many craft shows and fairs in our communities invite you to peruse and browse the local talent. Christmas is always a beautiful time of year; you’ll be quite cozy in one of our fabulous bed and breakfasts or hotels sipping hot apple cider or homemade eggnog and listening to a group of carollers sing or spending time with family and friends. You’ll enjoy every moment spent in Southwest Nova Scotia.
