I'm wet. Cold. Sweaty. And have 16 hours of travel ahead of me. Auberge and Spa Beaux Rêves' sauna to the rescue!
I was returning from the closed ski areas tour in Quebec, and had been drenched by rain at the Chantecler ski area. The first spa that I wanted to enter didn't accept guests other than those staying at the hotel. But then I saw Auberge and Spa Beaux Rêves!
They had three saunas, one steam, one barrel, and one "mill" sauna, a small rock tower with the best heat. They also had one cold pool/waterfall, and two heated rock pools. This little spa and hotel is located between Boulevard de Sainte-Adèle and a rocky river.
Much refreshed, probably to the benefit of the fellow tourist class inmates at the back of the British Airways plane. Recommended!

"Mongolia is kind of close, right? Story about an attempt to ski everywhere in the world where there's snow. And in some places where there isn't. On and off-piste skiing on all continents, skiing into craters of live volcanoes, climbing, photography, and travel." The Planetskier blog focuses on skiing, caving, climbing, biking, flying, sauna, and swimming adventures around the world.
