Looking to unwind and pamper yourself amidst the fresh air and breathtaking atmosphere of the Canadian Rocky Mountains? Just an hour away from Calgary and an hour from Banff, nestled in Kananaskis Country, is the mountain resort of Pomeroy Kananaskis Mountain Lodge, Autograph Collection. The Kananaskis Mountain Lodge is home to Alberta’s very first Scandinavian hydrotherapy experience, the Kananaskis Nordic Spa, and you could absolutely spend your entire day here blissfully moving through the therapeutic circuit of hot, cold, rest, repeat! The Kananaskis Nordic Spa is a luxury oasis hidden away in the mountainous scenery, which provides a completely immersive experience in this alpine retreat. The entire spa is set outdoors so you’ll never take your eyes off the unreal backdrop that surrounds you. Whether you’ve just finished up with a day skiing or snowboarding at Nakiska, or you’ve completed a marvellous hike, the Nordic spa is likely the first place on your mind when envisioning some well deserved RnR. The great thing is Kananaskis Nordic Spa is open all year-round and every day of the week, so you’ll never miss an opportunity to soak in the elements. This post is written after a sponsored stay and experience at the Kananaskis Mountain Lodge. All opinions are our own and stay true to our honest experience.

Kananaskis Nordic Spa Facilities With five pools, four saunas and two steam rooms, you could be spending hours flowing through the hydrotherapy loop. The technique borne of the ancient Nordic ritual consists of dipping into the hot pools, opening up your pores and sinuses to the heat of a sauna or steam room, taking a cold plunge, then resting in the open air or in the warmth of an insulated hammock before repeating the course two to three times. The Main Spa Lodge The Kananaskis Nordic Spa entrance can be accessed from Kananaskis Village directly from the public parking area, or if you’re staying at the Pomeroy Kananaskis Mountain Lodge, it’s a short few steps outdoors from the lobby – keep reading to learn more about staying at the lodge. You’ll cross a short wooden bridge that leads you to the top floor of the main spa lodge. Here you’ll receive a warm welcome from the friendly staff and have a peak at their retail reception before checking in. Their shop includes big brand names like Lululemon, local Albertan brands for wellness and apparel, as well as Kananaskis Nordic Spa’s very own line of products. If you love the products you use throughout your spa time so much, namely your soft and luxurious Tartan robe or the exfoliating scrub, you’ll have the opportunity to purchase your own to use at home! And if you forgot to bring a swimsuit, there are great options available here like Londre’s swim line. The spa lodge reception extends to an open seating area for dining and opens up to a huge waiting area with cozy upholstery and a fireplace. The windows of the living space open overhead when the weather is warm. It’s the perfect place to relax in while waiting for the rest of your party to arrive, or between a massage treatment and your time at the spa, while enjoying a drink or bite to eat. Book yourself a massage and you’ll have complimentary access to the hydrotherapy spa for the day! The Locker Rooms The locker rooms are located downstairs from the reception. Upon checking in at the spa, you’ll receive a waterproof wristband, either red for women or blue for men, with a locker number inscribed on it. The RFID chip inside will allow you to open your assigned locker effortlessly. No need to worry about keeping manual keys on you or memorize digital codes (and your locker number). Just be sure to not remove your wristband during your visit. The lockers are spacious and provide you with your own signature Tartan robe which will keep you warm and dry between dips in the pool, waterproof sandals to protect your feet around the facilities, a towel and a container filled with their seasonal salt scrub which you can use during your visit or take home with you. After getting dressed, you can head to the private shower stalls to rinse off before entering the outdoor spa. If you’ve forgotten a hair-tie – or perhaps a last minute shave or tampon – the shower section is fully stocked with amenities you might need. Be sure to leave your phones and cameras in your locker as the hydrotherapy spa is a cellphone-free space. We were visiting KNS for a creator summit with MODERNSPEAK outside of opening hours and captured the content that allows us to share our experience with you! Give yourself the opportunity to completely disconnect and seize your spa day without interference. The Pools The five pools all differ in temperature and ambience. The Hot Pool is incredibly invigorating at 35-40°C (95-104°F). The pool’s two levels allow more than one group of people to take advantage of the heated water, while water from the upper section cascades down into the lower more intimate pool, evoking calmness. The Salt-Water Float Pool, or Elements Pool, is the other hot pool with a cylindrical fountain at the centre. It’s certainly one of the more energizing spots to hang out with your crew during your hot cycle, and the two barrel saunas are placed on each side of the circular pool so you can always escape for some for quiet. The Gathering Pool is the largest and is most ideal during the rest phase if you’re hoping to socialize while taking in the open mountain views. Like the Hot Pool, it’s divided into a lower and upper section, giving all the more room to roam around while getting your body to stabilize in the […]
