Plan & Book

The morning air draping the Humber Valley touches your lips like a cool drop of water – a fresh, distinct sensation travellers find hard to describe. Set along the banks of the Humber River, the Humber Valley is nestled in the foothills of the Appalachian Mountains and stretches 70 kilometres from Deer Lake, to the city of Corner Brook.

Explore Outdoor Activities

Paddling along the river by canoe, you can view the lush trees and bushes against the beautiful Long Range Mountains. Here you can camp, hike, boat, golf, zipline, and ski. Or, drop your line in the crystal clear water for a day of angling on one of the best Atlantic salmon fishing rivers on the planet.

For fans of long-range hiking, the province’s International Appalachian Trail section begins at Port-aux-Basques and passes through the Humber Valley on its way up the Northern Peninsula. The hike through the valley is a moderate, 2-day, 25 km scenic trail, along rolling hills through inspiring scenery.

Discover Winter Fun

This is a paradise for skiing, snowshoeing, snowmobiling, and a perfect place for a winter walk along forest paths

Towering some 518 metres (1,700 feet) over the valley is the summit of Marble Mountain. With the highest vertical drop of any ski area in Atlantic Canada, you'll soar down 250 acres and 39 trails catering to all skill levels and preferences. Located just five minutes away from Corner Brook, Canada's snowiest city, Marble Mountain Resort receives an average of almost 5 metres (16 feet) of natural snowfall annually.

Skiing and snowboarding isn’t all Marble has to offer. Take in the stunning scenery with Marble Zip Tours and Aerial Park year round. Ride nine ziplines that traverse the Steady Brook Falls.

The mountain is also a beautiful place for hiking during the warmer months of the year.
