Yarrowstead is a new outdoor wellness experience just north of Edmonton, offering a unique atmosphere to rest and relax with its sauna and cold plunge opportunities.
This new experience is giving visitors a chance to escape the bustling noise of the city and reconnect with nature. The facility just opened this year, and it’s already inviting people to walk inside and unwind in its countryside setting. We’ve got all the information to know before taking a plunge, so let’s jump straight into it.
Yarrowstead is open daily from 4 to 8 p.m. on weekdays and noon to 8 p.m. on weekends (with specific available sessions throughout its opening hours).
You’ll be able to find the experience north of Edmonton in Sturgeon County.
The packing checklist for visitors includes a bathing suit and water bottle. A bathrobe, towel, and slippers will be provided for guests at the facility.
As an outdoor wellness facility, Yarrowstead offers:
According to Yarrowstead, a great way to get started is by moving between the three steps: heat (in the sauna for 10 to 20 minutes), cold (by the splash), and rest (by the firepit for 10 to 20 minutes).
The facility reminds guests that they are welcome to adjust this cycle, as starting with the cold or just enjoying the sauna is perfectly fine.
Community sessions last around one hour and 45 minutes, while private sessions last the full two hours.
Tickets for community sessions at Yarrowstead are available online and will cost $40 plus tax and fees, while private sessions for up to 12 people will cost $300 plus tax and fees. Those interested are also able to rent the space itself for their own unforgettable experience, with inquiries being taken online.
