Relax in the Outdoor Hot Tubs in Banff and Lake Louise

After a day spent playing on the ski hills or hiking through fresh snow, you return to your accommodation with the winter chill still clinging to your coat. You don your swimsuit and a cozy plush robe before venturing outside into the frosty air.
