Banff 
If you are planning an Alberta getaway this winter and want to focus on relaxation, you have the choice between a few excellent spa resorts.
Fairmont Jasper Park Lodge
Spa hotels and resorts on the Alberta side of the Canadian Rockies offer all sorts of ways to unwind over the colder months. There are options for hydro-based relaxation, such as indoor and outdoor pool/hot tub combos and the large Kananaskis Nordic Spa, as well as saunas and generally quiet spaces to find your sense of calm or peace.
If relaxation to you means pampering yourself, then there are ways to do that at Alberta’s spa resorts with massages, facials, nail treatments, or body wraps! Keep in mind that there are often ways to save, too, when you book your spa treatments and rooms at the same time.
