It goes without saying that we could all use a little more relaxation in our lives, especially given the current state of the world.
Kananaskis Nordic Spa has announced that they’ve reopened their pools to the public starting this Friday, July 24 following an initial closure back in March.
The spa is opening alongside neighbouring hotel Crosswaters Resort, with the two combining to offer a new spa and picnic package.

“The health and wellbeing of our guests is at the heart of what we do, and I am thrilled to welcome the public back to embrace the elements, discover the benefits of hydrotherapy, and find refuge here in the Kananaskis Valley,” said Alexandra Sharpe-Keene, Vice President of Spa Operations with Kananaskis Nordic Spa, in the release.
“Wellness routines have been so important over the past few months and I look forward to seeing the Kananaskis Nordic Spa become a key part of peoples’ self-care rituals once more.”
The release notes that the spa has been reopened with the blessing of Alberta Health, though its saunas and steam rooms remain closed to abide by provincial guidance.
It will also be staggering access with morning and evening sessions as well as limiting capacity to 65 at any given time.
Crosswater Resort has also reopened as completely adult-only in an effort to provide a retreat-style getaway, the release says.
“We are incredibly pleased to reopen Crosswaters Resort to once again offer our guests a truly unique refuge in which to relax and recharge,” said Graeme Jenkins, Vice President of Operations with Pomeroy Lodging, the Alberta-based parent company of Crosswaters Resort.
“This newly renovated accommodation is one of the Kananaskis region’s hidden gems and its latest Picnic and Spa Package is the perfect way to experience everything the Resort and the area has to offer, from wellness amenities, to hydrotherapy, to fresh local food and stunning mountain vistas.”
