An escape to the Îles-de-la-Madeleine (or Magdalen Islands) is the promise of a total change of scenery. The immaculate white landscapes invite you to practise original and intriguing activities, such as snowkiting, or enjoy unique experiences, like watching harp seal pups. These islands are also renowned for their hospitality as well as tourist attractions centered on their very own culture, arts and food.

That’s right: it is possible to explore some of the Magdalen Islands on a fatbike (a bicycle with oversized tires) in the winter. Whether you head out on the beaches or on the trails, it’s a unique way to see the winter scenery of the islands cloaked in white, with family or friends. This winter, treat yourself to an original two-wheeled adventure and marvel at the unique beauty of the Magdalen Islands!

Creation workshops to immerse yourself in island culture in the Magdalen Islands

Winter on the Magdalen Islands is a great time to slow down and seek inspiration. And a winter vacation to the Magdalen Islands is the perfect opportunity to take an interest in the arts and participate in a creation workshop offered by local artisans. These workshops invite you to express yourself through unusual materials (including blown glass and soap!) and draw inspiration from the Islands’ unique landscapes to create a one-of-a-kind work of art!
