AFTER ALL THAT SKIING OR SHOPPING...
SPAS TO THE RESCUE!

Thinking about a "spa vacation"? The Canadian Tourism Commission states that in 2005, 33% percent of Canada's leisure vacationers made their getaways with spas in mind. Can you imagine what a spa vacation would be like? No more running here, running there, get the phone, answer that e-mail.


Instead you can opt for a hot stone massage and some aromatherapy. And believe it or not, this idea of pampering and total relaxation for both the body and soul is appealing to more and more men, yes, MEN! Consider booking in as a couple after a day of exploring the mountain parks. Book a package deal or arrange it yourself - but plan ahead - spas are popular and in demand!

The popularity of spas here in the Rockies is nothing new. Take Banff National Park as an example; its creation was a result of the discovery of a natural hot springs by three railworkers workers looking for riches in the ground. What they found was not exactly silver or gold... but it was the beginning of something big! Canada's first national park started with the idea of healing waters and relaxation. Things have come a long way in the last 100+ years... come and take a look!
