BASIN Glacial Waters: A New Era of Wellness in the Canadian Rockies

The scenic Fairmont Chateau Lake Louise is gearing up for the launch of BASIN Glacial Waters, a state-of-the-art thermal bathing destination that blends luxury with nature's healing elements. Set to open on September 15, 2025, this facility is designed to enhance wellness experiences, creating a unique fusion of relaxation and connectivity with the stunning natural environment of Banff National Park.

A Vision Realized Over Two Decades

With over 20 years of conceptual planning and execution, BASIN Glacial Waters is the brainchild of acclaimed architect Matteo Thun. Thun's vision focuses on integrating contemporary features with traditional bathhouse elements, drawing inspiration from the therapeutic benefits of natural springs and Nordic sauna culture. The facility is purposefully designed to resonate with its breathtaking surroundings, set against a stunning backdrop of Canada's Lake Louise and the Victoria Glacier.

Upon arriving at BASIN, guests will be treated to an immersive spacescape adorned with organic textures and minimalist designs that respect and celebrate the natural aesthetics of the Canadian Rockies. At an elevation of 1600m (5,200ft), this luxurious retreat provides vistas that lend themselves to tranquil reflection and rejuvenation.

Explore the Thermal Experience

BASIN Glacial Waters is poised to redefine wellness with its distinct focus on water elements and varied thermal experiences. The venue includes a series of saunas, such as traditional Finnish and Bio Saunas, steam rooms, and treatment rooms designed for holistic therapies. One highlight is the Silent Salt Relax Room, enriched with Himalayan salt walls that naturally ionize the air, promoting a calming atmosphere.

Beyond the saunas, guests can explore diverse temperature pools meant for reflection, relaxation, and recreation. Highlights include a Reflexology Pool, an Infinity Pool with views spilling onto the outdoor terrace, and a Kneipp Walk, - all geared towards invigorating the senses and uplifting the spirit.

In addition to individual relaxation, BASIN features curated wellness journeys, or
