After a day of adventuring in Calabogie’s natural beauty—whether it’s hiking, skiing, or paddling—nothing beats the ultimate reset: a sauna and cold plunge experience at Somewhere Inn. Our Finnish-style sauna and cold plunge pool offer the perfect balance of relaxation and rejuvenation, surrounded by the calming atmosphere of the Ottawa Valley.
Our Thermal Cycle in Calabogie is free for guests and available as a walk-in experience to the public for a fee of $25. If you are new to thermal cycles, we will be happy to guide you through the experience.
THE THERMAL CYCLE & COLD PLUNGE STEPS
Our outdoor sauna is the ideal way to unwind, featuring warm cedar walls and a large window that brings nature right into the space. It’s the perfect way to soothe sore muscles and relax your mind. Once you’ve warmed up, take a bracing dip in our cold plunge pool, designed to refresh your body and leave you feeling invigorated. The contrast of hot and cold helps improve circulation and brings a renewed sense of energy.
1. HOT SAUNA
Enter the soothing warmth of our Ontario-crafted cedar barrel sauna, where the gentle heat envelops your skin. As the humidity takes effect, it revitalizes your senses and triggers a natural, adaptive response, leaving you refreshed and rejuvenated.
+ Sauna Barrel 60°C to 100°C for 15 min
+ Allow the heat to penetrate deeply.
2. COLD PLUNGE
Gently lower yourself into our cold plunge pool, located right next to the sauna in Calabogie. Take deep breaths and allow yourself to relax. The shock of cold water causes your blood vessels to constrict, reducing inflammation, while the rush of endorphins promotes mental clarity and a sense of well-being. Simply put, a cold plunge is packed with science-backed health benefits.
+ Cold plunge 0°C to 4°C for up to 3 min
+ Get cool, breathe deeply and relax your body.
3. REST
Join us in the Lounge, just steps from the sauna circuit. Resting is our favorite part of the experience, allowing you to fully embrace the calm after the invigorating hot-to-cold transition. It’s a time to simply be present, focus on your breath, and connect more deeply with yourself and those around you in a serene atmosphere.
+ Sit in the hammock chairs for 10 min
+ A time for stillness, breath, and a deeper connection with others.
4. REPEAT
Research suggests that completing the Thermal Cycle and Cold Plunge in Calabogie two to three times is ideal for maximizing health benefits, leaving you feeling fully refreshed and energized.
+ Maximize benefits by repeating 2-3 times
+ Leave with your mind and body feeling fresh and reinvigorated.
