About the Western Region

Visit the first European settlement of the new world at L'Anse aux Meadows National Historic Site. This Viking village, the area’s second UNESCO World Heritage Site, features a reconstructed complex of sod huts that offers a glimpse into the life of Nordic visitors a thousand years ago.
The city of Corner Brook is a sizeable hub of activity just five minutes away from the world-class ski resort, Marble Mountain. At Marble, you'll find yourself standing at the base of a 1,700-foot vertical drop that receives an annual average 16 feet of natural snowfall. As well as offering skiing and snowboarding, there are 1,250 kilometres of trails for snowmobiling in the winter.
Here in the wild west of the far east of North America, you'll find scenery to take your breath away. It's a place of mountains and of conservation areas like the Codroy Valley International Wetlands, where you can watch wildlife like moose, caribou, and migratory birds. It's a place where you can plan boat trips, go kayaking, hiking, and even visit secluded sandy beaches. It's also full of culture, so be sure to make time for some theatre, music, and art along the way.
