Hot Springs

Banff Upper Hot Springs 

The hot springs in Banff National Park are what first made this destination so famous. Travellers, allured here by the medicinal qualities of the hot springs, journeyed to Banff via the newly constructed Canadian Pacific Railway to take a dip in the mineral waters.

The Banff Upper Hot Springs, located at the end of Mountain Avenue, remain the only hot springs in Banff that can be enjoyed by the public. The hot springs elsewhere are the habitat of an endangered snail and are no longer open for public use. The Banff Upper Hot Springs is open year-round and consists of a large pool, spa facilities and café.

Warmth in Winter

With a temperature of around 37 degrees Celsius, the Banff Upper Hot Springs offer particularly special conditions to go for a warm, soothing soak in wintertime. As snow gently falls on the surrounding peaks, you can take a deep breath and relax amidst steaming waters.
