That’s right: it is possible to explore some of the Magdalen Islands on a fatbike (a bicycle with oversized tires) in the winter. Whether you head out on the beaches or on the trails, it’s a unique way to see the winter scenery of the islands cloaked in white, with family or friends. This winter, treat yourself to an original two-wheeled adventure and marvel at the unique beauty of the Magdalen Islands!
