The New Après in Whistler: Scandinave Spa
There’s a new trend in town and it’s fueled by the love of the mountains and the desire to take care of your body: the spa après. It’s no secret that Whistler is the place to capture the best skiing and snowboarding in the world, but after a day of chasing the finest white gold and unparalleled views your legs need to recharge. Look no further than Scandinave Spa, where the après experience involves a rejuvenation of your mind, body and soul so complete you’ll wonder why no one told you this when you first learned to ski.
When you step into Scandinave Spa, the vigour and vibration of the day fall aside and give way to the silence and stillness of nature and all it has to offer. Tucked into a forested corner, the spa’s outside baths bring a crisp wonder to the senses as you immerse yourself in not just heated or cooled water but the very essence of the mountains. It’s here that you leave your electronics behind and embark on a physical, mental and digital detox, allowing for a silent mindfulness that heals more than just your body.
The formula for Scandinave Spa’s rejuvenation program is simple, yet steeped in thousands of years of Finnish history: heat, chill, then relax. Kickstart your body’s repair process and get the blood flowing to your skin and muscles with the heat of either eucalyptus steam baths, the wood burning sauna, the Finnish sauna or hot baths. Then get your muscles to release tension by taking a chilling dip in either the Nordic waterfall, the Nordic showers, or the cold plunge baths. Finally, stabilize your blood flow and be fully present by relaxing in the solariums, hammocks, or by the outdoor fireplaces.
Regardless of the mountain you choose to ski or ride, make your après truly relaxing at Scandinave Spa. For more information and rates visit scandinave.com
