Nordique spa Mont Ste – Anne is a quick trip from downtown Quebec City for a memorable day–or more–of rest and relaxation. It’s a peaceful setting on a private lake, and with over 300,000 square feet of property to explore, there is something for everyone to enjoy.
Whether you want to find your bliss in the thermal baths, a facial, or a hike, you’ll leave here happy with the experience.
Thermal Baths
Modeled after the Scandinavian tradition of hot-cold-rest circuits, the Nordique adds a fourth step to the commonly used process, whirlpool baths. Start with 10-15 minutes of heat in a sauna or steam room. Follow that up with under a minute of icy cold. Then, rest for 10-15 minutes before ending with some time in a whirlpool. Then repeat the process.
Note that these thermal baths are not fed by a hot springs aquifer, however, they’re still soothing and therapeutic. .

With a fully-equipped kitchen, TVs, and covered galleys for outdoor enjoyment, even time away from the spa will be filled with fun and relaxation. Even pets are invited to some of the spaces.
