Vichy Shower (Banff)

Like a tropical rain, Vichy hydrotherapy at Banff Caribou Lodge's Red Earth Spa cascades mineral waters from a 7-showerhead rain bar. The treatment relaxes and stimulates circulation. Have your Vichy stand-alone or as part of a package—Wet Earth (with body exfoliation and mud wrap) or Spa Prestige Vichy Rain Experience (with marine mud massage and facial). Rimrock Spa & Fitness also offers Vichy showers along with coffee, mud and oil wrap treatments that include exfoliation and moisturizer application. — Lisa Stephens

Hanging About (Banff)

Have a mountain adventure indoors at The Banff Center Climbing Gym. Tackle top rope and lead routes using belay safety systems—there are plenty of challenges for all abilities and ages, and gear rentals are available. Join a training session, book a private lesson (403-762-7545) or if familiar with belaying, simply pass a quick safety test to be up and away in no time. — Lisa Stephens

Natural Indulgence (Banff)

Pleiades Massage & Spa hand makes natural skin care products from regional ingredients like oak flower, rose water, corn and oats. Experience the cleansing, revitalizing and moisturizing during a Pleiades treatment. Or, buy an item for home use from $10 (peppermint facial scrub or emollient honey masque) to $25 (body polish gel). — Nora O'Malley
