LET THE LANDSCApE iNHABIT US<\/h3>\n

The environment in which any architectural project is established is at the heart of the experience. Embedded in the midst of abundant vegetation, Str\u00f8m\u2019s facilities have one goal in common: to step aside to let the landscape speak. The architectural horizontality contributes harmoniously to this by catalyzing the views and directing the gaze.<\/p>\n

With nature as a muse, the simplicity of the architectural geometry blends into the landscape, allowing it to inhabit us. This intimate contact and feeling of closeness allow us to reconnect with the environment and the elements, the vegetation and the earth. Revealing themselves with the dawning of the spring, the flora and fauna open up possibilities for exploration, reconnecting users to a momentarily forgotten landscape.<\/strong><\/p>\n

Nuns\u2019 Island<\/h3>\n

An Amazing Biodiversity<\/span><\/h4>\n

At Str\u00f8m Nordic Spa Nuns\u2019 Island, the views reinforce the horizon, enhancing the presence of Lac des Battures, the wooded areas, and an amazing biodiversity. The panoramic sauna and the R\u00f8d relaxation room broaden the perspective of the lake and its wooded expanses thanks to the immense windows, which make us forget the building itself.<\/p>\n

Framing an element inevitably leads to a feeling of closeness to it, revealing in the user an absolute relaxation and an enthralled discovery. The rich ecosystem of the site offers a prime habitat for many rarer plant and animal species, which can be admired while taking a break on the dock along the shore. Among these, we find the peregrine falcon, short-eared owl, eastern screech- owl, snapping turtle, heron, duck, and cormorant, to name just a few. At the height of your visit, massages on pilotis let you extend the relaxation experience outside, combining massage therapy and nature. Here, the mood music is graciously offered by nature itself.<\/p>\n

Mont- Saint-Hilaire<\/h3>\n

View of the Summit<\/span><\/h4>\n

Established in the heart of a dense forest, Str\u00f8m Nordic Spa Mont-Saint-Hilaire reinvents the landscape that surrounds it. The magnificent windows and sleek lines highlight a wild and abundant natural setting. Nestled at the foot of the mountain, the immense full-sun swimming pool surrounded by the majestic foliage of the weeping willows offers a breathtaking view of Mont Saint-Hilaire. At the heart of the panorama room, the mountain can be experienced.<\/p>\n

Recognized for the richness of its vegetation, Mont Saint-Hilaire is home to rare trees and shrubs, such as the white walnut, shagbark hickory, and the beautiful serviceberry. Among the plants, exceptional flowers also appear, such as the long-spurred violet and the broad beech-fern, which only grows in the Monteregian Hills. The mountain is home to many butterflies, including the monarch, as well as impressive nocturnal species, such as the owl and the bat.<\/p>\n

Sherbrooke<\/h3>\n

Invigorating Vegetation<\/span><\/h4>\n

Uniting the building and the landscape, Str\u00f8m Nordic Spa Sherbrooke rises up on the banks of the Magog River and its lush landscapes. The rectangular shapes of the building follow the trajectory of the shore and its flora. While the dock and the beach offer a privileged closeness with the river, an expanse of mature trees surrounds the relaxation area.<\/p>\n

A bit further, a green area sometimes welcomes great blue herons, ducks, chickadees, and even snapping turtles, which come here to lay their eggs in late spring. The area can be crossed on foot to contemplate the flora and fauna and take root there. Or let yourself be lulled, nestled in spacious hammocks on the edge of the shore. Finally, a four- season pavilion combining angular architecture and openings on the river allows for contemplation in a warm and refined atmosphere that leaves plenty of room for the landscape. Peaceful relaxation in sweet simplicity.<\/p>\n

Old Quebec<\/h3>\n

A Taste of Escape<\/span><\/h4>\n

Strongly inspired by the port history of the Bassin Brown, Str\u00f8m Nordic Spa Old Quebec has established itself there, becoming without a doubt the most spectacular spa in the province. While thoughtful architectural viewpoints harmonize with the richness of the setting, the immensity and power of nature give it a taste of escape.<\/p>\n

The infinity pool along the river offers a changing panorama adorned with light and greenery in the spring. The incredible diversity of its habitats makes the river one of the richest natural heritage sites in North America. The flora and fauna, both terrestrial and marine, include marine mammals, seabirds, fish, and migratory species. The river and its ecosystem are thus omnipresent, permeating the experience of the guests and marking the fluidity of the journey. Everywhere the visitor goes, nature is there.<\/p>\n
