Scandinave Spa

While staying in and around the Blue Mountain area, your choice of accomodations can range from seasonaly affordable and predictable to very high end and expensive. The Blue Mountain Chalet, and the Blue Mountain Lodge both look pretty nice to me however, just a small taste of what is available. From rustic mountain cabins to sophisticated condo style hotels there are stunning four season homes,  friendly, family oriented communities that cater to tourists and immense real estate investment potential for those who want a slice of that pie.

When not skiing enjoy a unique shopping experience in the village, taste international cuisine while sipping on brandy by the fire. Or go exploring in a natural, outdoor adventure via the Scenic Caves. Take a short drive to the shoreline or go to Midland and dangle your baited hook into the frozen waters of Georgian Bay. Harvest those trout and perch from your day of ice fishing then grill your catch of the day back at your chalet!
