이번 휴가철에 온타리오에서 발견할 수 있는 최고의 야외 온천

As the temperatures outside dip,  you might want to trade in the poncho for a bathing suit to explore some of the best-known hot springs and thermal pools in Ontario. There is nothing more relaxing than outdoor hot springs, especially when surrounded by snow-covered greenery and starry skies while rejuvenating from the winter chill. We’ve listed our top suggestions for outdoor thermal pools to experience this holiday season that are less than a 2-hour drive from Niagara Falls, Ontario.

스칸디나브 스파

Collingwood, Ontario
Located 2-hours North of Toronto, the Scandinave Spa offers the ultimate winter wonderland. If you are looking for a quick getaway from the Niagara Region or Toronto, this spa is definitely one to consider. Cleanse your body, release endorphins, and stimulate blood circulation at one of the many outdoor hydrotherapy baths. Enjoy the tranquillity of the eucalyptus steam baths, Finnish Sauna, or Infrared Sauna, follow that with a refreshing rinse at the Nordic waterfall, or cold plunge bath, or simply enjoy the crispness of the snow-covered mounts. You’ll need to leave the Instagram posts until you get home as the phone-free and silent springs are highly encouraged for visitors to enjoy a truly unwinding experience. The baths are on a first-come, first-serve basis. Lounge in plush, terry cloth towels while sipping tea and relaxing in the Canadian red maple leaf Muskoka chairs.
