Located just 30 minutes from Montreal, this sprawling 600,000-square-foot location offers a world of relaxation inspired by global thermotherapy practices: Förena Cité thermale is an immersive journey through the traditions of Iceland, Germany, and Russia, brought to life at the foot of Mont Saint-Bruno.
Icelandic baths with cascading waterfalls, Germanic dry saunas perfumed with pine and birdsong, and Russian steam rooms featuring clary sage oils create a multisensory escape. Don’t miss the Aufguss ritual, where a master orchestrates steam, scent, and movement in a rhythmic, therapeutic experience rarely found outside Europe.
Förena balances luxury with environmental mindfulness, incorporating local materials and preserving the natural water network of its farmland surroundings. Beyond the baths, indulge in the chef’s cuisine, therapeutic massages, or guided sensory meditation sessions that blend wellness with inner exploration.
