Îles de la Madeleine

Visit the Îles de la Madeleine in the winter and admire the Islands’ white landscapes of sea, lagoons and pristine hills, which offer a striking contrast to the red cliffs of the archipelago. Take advantage of this
enchanting setting to enjoy unique and exciting winter activities.
In December and January, a
ferry will take you to the archipelago from Prince Edward Island. However, the best way to get to the Islands in the winter is to
fly.

Every year in early March, tens of thousands of
harp seals make their way to the ice surrounding the archipelago to give birth to their pups, a
truly impressive sight. Château Madelinot offers
seal-watching packages that include lodging, a helicopter excursion to the ice and other activities.
In Fatima, on Cap aux Meules Island,
Vert et Mer invites you to enjoy a unique activity on the frozen lagoons: try out
kite skiing and experience the thrill of being pulled across the snow-covered ice by a huge kite! Take advantage of your stay to also explore the hidden treasures of the Islands while hiking, snowshoeing or cross-country skiing. For an experience even closer to nature, spend the night in a
yurt.
Winter in the Islands is also a great opportunity to meet the locals, whose hospitality is legendary.
