Spas,
Hotsprings and Retreats!
|
Bask in our warmth! Imagine soothing mineral rich
waters that bubble up from mother Earth, caressing you while you
absorb the unparalleled views of the Rocky Mountains. Breathe in
the clean fresh air, and heal soul and mind. Tensions melt away
as you revel in the luxury of the mountain hotspring pools or Spa
getaways.
Sacred to ancient natives and treasured by European
explorers and settlers these soothing waters have refreshed generations
of travelers. Both of Alberta's hot springs have a distinctive history
and character.
Banff Upper
Hot Springs (Map Location)
Prepare for a surprise. In those Canadian Rockies are steamy hot
mineral waters and yo can soak in their curative and healing waters.
The upper hotsprings were builts because the original lower springs
had fallen into disuse and the views were better from the higher
spot. Only 3 miles from the center of town the hotsprings are very
popular in the summer. Cappucino on the terrace after a hot soak
anyone?

Miette Hotsprings
near Jasper (Map Location)
Here we have naturally heated springs on Sulfur Mountain
feeding the pool with 40 degree celsius waters. 45 minutes east
of Jasper (towards Edmonton) up the beautiful Fiddle Valley. These
are the hottest hotsprings in Western Canada and the views of the
surrounding mountains make the short drive well worth it. As well
you have a pretty good chance of seeing wildlife on the drive up.

The Banff
Springs Hotel Spa
One of the highlights of a spa visit to the Rockies would
have to be the Willow Stream spa located at the amazing Banf Springs.
In this Alpine paradise you find no fewer than 29 treatment areas
and 11 soothing pools and whirlpools. How about relaxing at a fireplace
lounge or immersed in one of the waterfalls.
