Don't Hate Winter. Embrace It.

Northern Ontario is big—it’s bigger than Texas, more than twice as big as Germany and three times the size of the UK. 

As one of Canada's snowiest regions, our boreal forests and countless lakes transform into a winter wonderland from November to early April. This season, we invite you to explore our thousands of groomed OFSC snowmobile trails, downhill ski slopes, winter festivals, holiday markets, and thrilling ice-fishing adventures. Whether you’re drawn to backcountry camping and ice climbing or prefer cozy cocktails and relaxing spa retreats, Northern Ontario has something special waiting for you.

 Just be sure to leave enough time. There's lots of discover—and the joy is in the journey.
