Adventures in the heart of the islands of Saint-Pierre and Miquelon and Newfoundland
Winter is certainly conducive to "cabin tides" during which the wind, powder snow or rain makes the back country difficult to traverse... And yet, once the snow has settled and the wind is tolerable, nothing prevents you from going to explore the frozen peat bogs or the rocky hills, quite the contrary!
You can then explore the archipelago on day hikes, sleep in a tent to experience winter bivouacking, spend evenings in a tipi heated by a wood stove, or in the shelter of an isolated cabin on Miquelon ... The winter season offers opportunities for experiences ranging from easy to challenging, leaving lasting memories and giving a different flavor to the hot drink you enjoy when you return home...
