Spas and relaxation in Quebec

Soaking in a hot bath deep in the forest, alternating between sauna and icy plunge, then dozing off by the fire: Nordic spas have turned relaxation into an art form in Quebec. Perched on mountainsides, set along rivers or tucked into the city, these thermal havens deliver a perfect escape in any season — and winter, with steam rising into the cold air, is pure magic. Many spots round out the experience with massages, treatments and healthy bistro fare. It’s the ultimate treat, solo, as a couple or with friends.
