From the woodland setting to the all-weather pools and saunas, this Nordic-style spa is particularly magical in the winter. While enjoying the steaming-hot pool and fountain, bathers can watch skiers descending Blue Mountain. Spa treatments—Swedish, hot stone and Thai yoga massages—typically follow the hot-cold bathing routine: first heating the body in the log cabin sauna, steam room or any of the three hot pools to open up the pores, then plunging into a cold water pool. After performing the ritual three times, your muscles are considered sufficiently softened up for a massage. The spa includes a bistro that’s catered by Collingwood’s Café Chartreuse.
