SOCIAL BATHING AT QUEBEC’S NATURE SPAS
From Gatineau to Tremblant, Quebec’s outdoor spas offer a variety of wet experiences - yes, even in winter.

It’s Friday noon at Le Nordik Nature Spa and people are already lined-up to enjoy a day of social bathing – Nordic style.
This three-year old outdoor spa, where the waters run hot, cold and tepid, is a hot spot for the people of Parliament Hill, Ottawa who, we’re told, make the 12-minute drive to take-the-waters on a fairly regular basis.
Sitting pretty on a rocky piece of property at the front door of Gatineau Park, Le Nordik is one of several “nature spas” I discovered on the route between Gatineau and Tremblant. The taking-of-the waters for health and wellbeing is a European practice dating, at least, as far back as Romans times and it tends to be more of a health and wellness activity than a “spa experience.”
