Natural Hot Springs and Cold River Plunging in Invermere Canada

Join Contact at the Cabin and Brandon Powell in Invermere, British Columbia to Push yourself to the limits in the scenic backdrop of the Canadian Rockies

Cold plunging has been shown to increase baseline dopamine, which is linked to motivation and can enhance focus and lower the threshold for taking action towards specific goals.0 Cold water immersion, also known as ice bathing or cold plunging, is an excellent way to reduce inflammation, recover quicker from high-intensity workouts, better manage stress and anxiety, become more resilient, and more.2 However, whether there are health benefits or not is not clear and has not been established. Plunging the body into cold water triggers a sudden, rapid increase in breathing, heart rate, and blood pressure known as the cold shock response, which can cause a person to drown within seconds if they involuntarily gasp while their head is submerged.3 Brief immersions in water less than 59°F (15°C) did increase metabolism, but there haven't been any large studies proving that repeated icy plunges result in significant weight loss.4 Cold plunges can also aid in reducing itchiness, remove dead skin cells, and stimulate skin regeneration by boosting the production of collagen in the skin.1 Consistent exposure to cold temperatures allows the mind to get comfortable in a state of discomfort, which will improve its ability to deal with other types

Lussier Hot Springs

Located in Whiteswan Lake Provincial Park, these are some of the best BC natural hot springs. They are reached via a couple minute walk down a gradual, smooth trail. The springs are really just a collection of rocks arranged into a series of rough pools with gravel bottoms, each at a different temperature based on their proximity to the hot spring and the amount of cool river water mixing in. With the rocky shore, picturesque river, surrounding forest and looming mountains, Lussier Hot Springs are about as scenic as it gets.
