Nordic Skiing & Snowshoeing
Always breathtaking, BruceGreySimcoe has the trails, groomed and ungroomed, to match your ski style and your skill level. Due to the growing popularity of snowshoeing, most of the operators across the region have snowshoe trails, too. If you’re new to either sport and just trying it out, equipment rentals and lessons are available either on-site or at local outfitters.
