Amidst the rugged beauty of the Canadian Rockies lies an oasis of tranquility: the Kananaskis Nordic Spa. A perfect blend of natural splendor and traditional Scandinavian wellness practices, it’s not just a spa—it’s a holistic experience that revitalizes both the body and soul.

 

A Deep Dive into Hydrotherapy

Stretching over a generous 50,000 square feet, the Kananaskis Nordic Spa offers more than just a simple dip in a pool. Here, hydrotherapy is an immersive ritual:

  • Hot Pools: Let the warmth seep into your bones as you relax in the steaming waters, looking up to the mountains above. The heat eases muscle tension and prepares the body for the next stage.
  • Warm Pools: Not as hot, but equally soothing, these pools continue the relaxation process, ensuring that the body remains at ease.
  • Cold Pools: It’s a brisk plunge but an essential part of the experience. The cold immersion invigorates, tightens pores, and boosts circulation. It’s a shock at first, but the afterglow is incredibly rejuvenating.

The cycle isn’t complete without a session in their steam cabins and saunas, where pores open and toxins bid farewell. And if that wasn’t enough, imagine drifting off in their heated hammocks, with the Rockies standing guard.

 

More than Just Pools

The experience at Kananaskis isn’t limited to water. Their range of treatments is extensive:

  • Massage Therapies: From deep tissue to relaxation, their therapists know just how to knead away the stresses of the everyday.
  • Facials & Body Treatments: Using a curated selection of products, these treatments are designed to glow up your skin and ensure you feel pampered.

Hungry after a day of relaxation? The Two Trees Bistro is ready to serve. It’s not just about nourishing the body but also the soul, with a menu that celebrates local produce and complements the wellness journey.

 

Making the Most of Your Visit

  • Plan Ahead: Given its popularity, it’s wise to reserve your spot, especially for specific treatments.
  • Dress Right: While the spa provides robes, having a comfy swimsuit is essential. Consider bringing flip-flops and a change of clothes for post-treatment comfort.
  • Hydration is Key: Alternating between pools and treatments can be dehydrating. Keep sipping water to stay refreshed.
  • The View: It’s not just a spa, it’s a viewpoint. The Canadian Rockies provide a majestic backdrop, making relaxation here a visual treat.

Kananaskis Nordic Spa is more than a wellness retreat; it’s where nature and nurture converge. With the Rockies embracing you and the waters soothing you, it’s an experience that echoes long after you leave. Ready for alpine rejuvenation? The Kananaskis awaits.

A Bear and Bison Inn on Trip Advisor
Best Wedding ever!

We booked the Bear and Bison Inn 13 years ago today for our wedding venue, and continue to make pilgrimage here once or twice annually ever since. What can we say about the experience here? The service is first rate. The staff are always friendly and accommodating no matter how many times we have been here. The culinary experience is amazing – the owner (Lonny) is a professional chef – and his care and attention to detail certainly shows in the preparation and presentation! They have also proven extremely proactive in accommodating for allergies. We always consider the Bear and Bison Inn our “home away from home” – and will continue to do so in the future! The rooms are clean, the views are spectacular and ambience cultivates an atmosphere of calm and relaxation. It is always our first choice for booking every time we come to Canmore. Lonny takes pride, care and attention into his work and everything he touches. And it shows! We look forward to seeing you again very soon, and thanks again for such a wonderful experience!
