Soothe weary muscles
after a day on the trails at
Kananaskis Nordic spa. The
outdoor hydrotherapy circuit
is said to eliminate toxins and
reduce stress. Start in the hot
pool or steam cabin, move
to the warm pool, and then
plunge into icy water; repeat.

Expect to work up an
appetite? Mount engadine
lodge happily obliges. Book
a table for dinner or brunch,
or drop in for afternoon tea
overlooking the Rockies.
On Sundays, indulge in an
extra treat: fresh-baked Swiss
strudel.

Bundle up and venture
onto the frozen spray lakes
Reservoir for some excellent
ice fishing. It’s best to book
a guided trip to ensure
proper ice conditions and
licensing. Or catch some fun
on Family Fishing Weekend
(Feb. 16-18), when no licence
is needed.
