This mineral-rich hot spring in Alberta has ‘healing properties’ & incredibly scenic views

Need to wind down on a rainy day? Located west of Calgary, Alberta, the Banff Upper Hot Spring is a magical oasis with stunning mountain views and ‘healing properties’—according to Banff Lake Louise.

A favourite amongst vacationers since 1886, this iconic spot is an all-year-round beauty with geothermal waters that bubble from deep within the earth.

In the winter, stay warm in a pool that sits at a cozy 47°C, or visit in the warmer months when it’s a cool 27°C and you can comfortably lounge on the pool deck.

This particular spot is perfect for watching a sunset, restoring your body after a busy day of hiking, and is conveniently located near other incredible sites in and around the historic mountain town.

From restaurants and shops to gardens, galleries and hotels, there’s so much to see and do, before and after you go for a soak, so check it out.

Admission is free for children under three, adult entry costs $17.50 and a family of four is a flat rate of $56.75.

Happy visiting and enjoy letting those mineral-rich waters work their magic!

You’re in for a treat.
