During winter, snow and ice transform the Iles-de-la-Madeleine into a beautiful lunar landscape. Then, the end of February signals the annual return of those true nomads of frozen seas. Hundreds of thousands of harp seals come give birth to their pups on the ice floes around the Islands.

For 2 or 3 weeks, we can observe the adult seals and their pups in their natural habitat; a spectacular site of snow and ice animated by the presence of this immense herd on a territory that extends as far as the eyes can see.

The hotel Château Madelinot offers different packages which include one helicopter tour to the seals on the Magdalen Islands. This allows the tourists, nature lovers, to go on the ice floes and experience a close contact with the baby seals. Sure of their success, the harp seal pups will take a pose and let themselves be photographed in the perfect media creatures they have become these last few years.

The Magdalen Islands
Accessible from Prince Edward Island, Iles-de-la-Madeleine, also known as the Magdalen Islands, are a part of the province of Quebec. Because of the access being primarily from Prince Edward Island, as well as sharing the Gulf of St. Lawrence with the Atlantic Provinces these islands are considered part of the Atlantic Canada "family". It is a mixed landscape of islands and dunes with desert beaches and cliffs. Various activities are offered to the visitors, like biking, windsurfing, diving, trips out at sea, marine cave visits, golf, and many more. Also, the cafés, restaurants and various sites of interest will seduce anyone who spends their vacation in this part of the province.
