This Luxe New Spa in Canada's Banff National Park Lets You Soak in Glacier-fed Waters With Views of Lake Louise
"Basin Glacial Waters is surrounded by sweeping views of the rugged Canadian Rockies and Victoria Glacier, the lake's source that also supplies the spa's wate. Wellness facilities include two steam rooms, three saunas (bio, Finnish, and Aufguss), three hot tubs, two pools, an outdoor cold plunge, several relaxation spaces, and a barefoot route that alternates between hot and cold water."
"The interiors are tucked into a hillside, under a roof of wild native fauna, while the exteriors sprawl toward the water with the outdoor pools mimicking the turquoise waters of Lake Louise. "Capturing the spirit of Lake Louise was at the heart of the architectural intention, to respect the richness of the landscape with a design that represents simplicity, purity, and the uniqueness of the location," Thun said"
Basin Glacial Waters sits at the edge of Lake Louise and draws water from Victoria Glacier. The indoor-outdoor thermal spa blends Nordic sauna traditions with Canadian materials, offering steam rooms, three saunas (bio, Finnish, Aufguss), hot tubs, pools, an outdoor cold plunge, relaxation areas, and a barefoot hot-and-cold route. Italian architect Matteo Thun used Canadian wood, stone, and a roof planted with native fauna to tuck interiors into a hillside and extend pools toward the lake's turquoise hues. Self-guided Thermal Trails circuit alternates hot/cold and dry/humid experiences; the Glacier Lounge serves food, elixirs, and glacier water on tap.
