In Quebec there are many spas and health centres, in both urban and rural areas. They are sometimes affiliated to a network such as Spas Relais Santé®, which ensures visitors a certain level of quality in the services provided. Many health centres are located in hotels, inns or vacation resorts, which makes it easy to enjoy this activity during your stay. Massage therapy and a variety of other treatments are available: wraps, exfoliation, seaweed baths, etc. The number and popularity of Nordic spas in Quebec continues to increase. A Scandinavian tradition, these spas are set up in the woods, the mountains or alongside streams for a unique one-on-one with nature and a great way to relax. The Le Scandinave in Mont-Tremblant is probably one of the oldest Nordic spas found in the Laurentians and even in Quebec. Nordic spas, based on the concept of thermotherapy, take full advantage of the surrounding natural elements , in the winter or summer, to improve our health by alternating hot (hammam, sauna, whirlpool) and cold (stream, waterfall, snow or pool) to eliminate toxins, stimulate the body’s circulation and firm up the skin.
