Imagine finishing a day of skiing and heading to the après ski party at the bottom of the resort with outdoor hot tub and pools, saunas, steams rooms, live DJ playing tunes, two bars and wood-fired pizza.
Your assuming this après party is at a 5-star resort tucked away in some far off European mountain town. Perhaps Le Grand Bellevue in Gstaad, Switzerland or Hotel Mont Blanc in Chamonoix, France? Maybe the beloved Alpenroyal Grand Hotel in Val Gardena , Italy where rooms go for over $1000 a night. Nope…its at Mount Bohemia in Upper Michigan where you can stay for as little as $60 a night (dinner included) in their hostel.
With this year’s expansion project at Mount Bohemia, the Nordic spa will now be able to handle over 200 people at one time with plenty of room relax, party, eat ,drink, and meet new friends after an amazing day on the slopes. There is no other ski resort in North America where you get a full blown Nordic spa at the base of the ski slopes. Even better your Mount Bohemia season pass gets you year-round free access to the Nordic spa.
The après ski scene started and was perfected in Europe in famous mountain villages like Val d‘Isère and Chamonoix, France. Bohemia takes it to a new level. It brings in the European party vibe mixed with Scandavian relaxation with its Nordic spa located at the base of its slopes.
The Nordic spa enters its fourth season featuring 30 person outdoor hot tub, 66 person – 94° outdoor pool, a cold plunge pool, eucalyptus steam room, and herbal sauna plus some really cool additions.
The new additions really take it to the next level. A 22 person panoramic Finnish sauna located literally four feet from the active ski slope. This new sauna opening in late December will be the closest sauna to active ski slopes anywhere in the world.
“So many panoramic saunas go flat because you simply stare out at a few trees or its located in the basement of the lodge. what could be a better view for a sauna at a ski resort then facing the action of the ski slopes right there just a few feet away as you relax in the warmth of a true finnish sauana. Trust me this sauna will be the marquee attraction of the Nordic spa and we believe it will be rated as the coolest ssauna ever built at a ski resort.” -Lonie glieberman
Also Bohemia is adding a Himalayan Salt Sauna . This Sauna is also going to seat 22 people and will be located on the wood deck next to the Log cabin bar. Himalayan salt saunas provide several health benefits beyond what you would normally expect from heat exposure. It’s called halotherapy (aka breathing in salty air) which allows the absorption of the trace minerals through your skin and respiratory system, promoting relaxation, detoxification, increased circulation and even improved skin health.
The most interesting addition to the Nordic spa is the Salt Pod Cabin. This same salt pod cabin is also used by many NFL/college sports teams including the Detroit Lions, Chicago Bears, Los Angeles Rams and Notre Dame football to name a few. This is where you go into the salt pod and float on top of the water. The salt pod cabin that is opening late December is meant for two people.
Guests can bring a friend with them to experience the true meditative state and sensory depravation of a Salt pod cabin. Weightlessness and darkness will take you into a deeper relaxed state that can speed up recovery and help reduce stress and anxiety while improving creativity. The price for the salt cabin will be $50 for 2 people for an hour. And lastly Bohemia has put in two massage rooms that will be the perfect thing after a few days of skiing.
The log cabin bar and pizza cabana located inside the grounds of the Nordic Spa allows for a relaxing beer, mixed drink or pizza when you visit the Nordic spa. Also on some weekends a DJ sets up on the spa deck to play best après ski music.
The terrain at Mount Bohemia is world class but just as special is what happens after the ski day is done . The Nordic spa at Mount Bohemia is true 5-star après ski amenity. Mount Bohemia’s $99 season pass includes access to the Nordic spa all year long. Its on sale now through December 2nd. BUY HERE.
