Winter Season
Scenic Caves Nordic Centre
Following the recent ice storm, there was significant damage and impact on the trails. We are temporarily closed until further notice to allow time to clean up the property. When the time is right we look forward to welcoming you back to experience our property and adventures!
We are excited for the winter season and thrilled to welcome guests to our Nordic Centre. We look forward to sharing a great winter season with you!
Set within one of Canada’s eighteen UNESCO biosphere reserves, lies Scenic Caves Nordic Centre - a spectacular winter playground. With our unique mountaintop location, the Nordic Centre is nestled in 370 unspoiled acres of the Niagara Escarpment. Our location provides the perfect elevation for reliable snow conditions and consistent temperatures, all season long. Glide along our 27km trail network by cross country ski, or hike by snowshoe on 12km of trails. Our trails are professionally groomed and track set daily and include access to Southern Ontario's longest Suspension Footbridge!
Many native species call our 200 year old forest home and await your arrival. A wide variety of birds including winter owls, deer, rabbits and other wildlife can be seen during any given winter visit.
Reservations are not available. Day tickets and rentals can only be purchased on-site at Scenic Caves on a first come first serve basis. Mid-week and early entrance is advised.
Snowshoes or Cross Country Skis are required to access the winter trails. You can use your own equipment, or rentals are available on site.
