19 LEGENDS + TALES • Volume 10 • 2022 WINTER WONDERLAND Winnipeg is a four-season destination, and perhaps the most famous of them is winter. As snow blankets the city in sparkling white, visitors can take in an authentic winter adventure. NEW Winnipeg Trails Association has you covered with its Winterpeg website, featuring up-to-date maps showing what's groomed, mobile ski libraries, wheelchair skates, by-donation rentals and more. NEW Embrace the season with active transportation rentals from Type Eh Bikes (fat bikes, snowshoes and kicksleds) and Kendrick's Outdoor Adventures at The Forks (fat bikes, ice bikes, ice trikes and skating assists). Other popular ways to keep warm include a hamam treatment at Ten Spa and the thermal cycle of saunas and pools at Thermëa by Nordik by Spa-Nature. Find your way out of the world's largest snow maze at A Maze in Corn, where you can also slide down the giant snow mountain, pop into the snow bar and hop on a sleigh ride. Pedal around town with ease by renting a fat bike available at White Pine Bicycle Co. at The Forks. Skate along the Nestawaya River Trail presented by The Winnipeg Foundation, one of the world's longest skating trails. Test out your curling skills at one of the rinks on the river, and stop for photo ops at warming huts designed by architects dotting the trail. Festival du Voyageur, Western Canada's largest outdoor winter celebration, channels the spirit of Manitoba's fur trading past, celebrating the culture, art, food, music and dance of Métis, Indigenous and Franco-Manitoban adventurers.
