The Best Winter Vacations To Take In Nova Scotia

Tourists come to Nova Scotia in droves during the summer months, but winter is full of fun activities too! Check out the list below for the best winter vacations the province has to offer.

Skiing

Nova Scotia has a number of ski hills around the province (five to be exact!) and plenty of cross-country ski opportunities. Try your hand at downhill skiing, snowboarding, cross-country, or Telemark – a mix of cross-country and downhill.

Winter camping

If adventure is calling your name, plan a winter camping trip at one of the province’s many parks. Cape Breton Highlands National Park and Kejimkujik National Park are two beautiful spots that offer tons of activities and ample adventure.

Halifax’s Savour Food & Wine Festival

Savour Food & Wine Festival is a series of events that run through the winter months and showcase the best of the province’s culinary and drink scene. Events include IMBIBE, a cocktail event, Rare and Fine, a fine wine event and Decadence, showcasing indulgent food and wines.
