A Scandinave spa will open near Whistler in December, a sister to Scandinave spas already located at Tremblant and Blue Mountain. Situated 1.5 km north of Whistler Village on the edge of...

Lost Lake and Spruce Grove parks, the spa will overlook mountains and valleys from a forest of spruce and cedar.

 

Also known as hydrotherapy, the Scandinave Spa experience is largely organic, both in its attitude towards well-being and in its commitment to the environment so integral to the experience.

The Scandinavian baths experience

The Scandinavian baths experience cleanses the body and skin, improves blood circulation and physical and aerobic conditioning, producing the effect of increased wellness and intense relaxation. Occurring in three stages, just a few hours are required to fully enjoy the benefits of these outdoor baths. In sequence, first heat the body in the eucalyptus steam bath or wood burning Finnish sauna to open pores, stimulate blood circulation and release toxins. Then, cool the body quickly in the Nordic waterfalls, cold baths or shower to close the pores and strengthen the immune system. Finally, relax in a solarium or enjoy one of the terraces with outdoor fireplace throughout the spa, to allow the cardiovascular system to regulate itself and blood circulation to decrease. For the ultimate relaxation, Scandinave Spa offers baths and massage packages such as Swedish or Duo Swedish massage, Sports massage, Thai-yoga massage and hot volcanic stone massage to complement the baths experience. Choose the Scandinavian Baths experience or a Baths and Massage Package.
