The Nordic Centre is closed for the season. We thank you for sharing your winter adventures with us and look forward to seeing you again when the snow flies!
Until then we are open for warm season adventures and activities. Check out what we have to offer. See you soon! https://sceniccaves.com/collections/warm-seasons
We are excited for the winter season and thrilled to once again welcome guests to our Nordic Centre. Our commitment to the well being of our staff and guests is paramount in everything we do. Activities and services will vary depending upon weather conditions.
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.

Our trails are professionally groomed and track set daily and include access to Southern Ontario's longest Suspension Footbridge!
