Fairmont Hot Springs Resort

Fairmont Hot Springs Resort occupies a scenic position in the Columbia Valley of southeastern British Columbia, channeling odorless natural mineral springs at around 45°C into what are among the largest natural hot spring pools in Canada. The resort complex includes a ski area, golf courses, and extensive lodging alongside the hot spring pools, which accommodate hundreds of swimmers at once. The Columbia River valley setting — broad, flat-bottomed, and framed by the Rockies and Purcells — is stunning, and the resort has been a family vacation institution in British Columbia for generations.
