Fairmont Hot Springs is a year-round resort village situated, a short distance, south of the community of Invermere in the Columbia Valley, Kootenay region of British Columbia. The popular recreation and relaxation resort destination includes the largest odourless hot spring pools in Canada, some golf courses and a ski hill.

Fairmont Hot Springs rests at the headwaters of the Columbia River - not far from the recreational water sports of Windermere Lake. Looming high above the hot springs are the Rocky and Purcell Mountains - home to glaciers, waterfalls, hoodoos, snowcapped peaks, crashing rivers and endless wilderness adventures.

Long ago, the hot springs were first used by the First Nation people as healing waters. The pools were once referred to as the ‘Land of Smoking Waters’. The mineral pool provides hours of warm water therapy and relaxation.

From the pools one can enjoy the magnificent views of the surrounding landscape. The Fairmont Range of the Rocky Mountains is easily viewed while soaking in the hot springs. The Fairmont Range is part of the Stanford Range of the Rocky Mountains.
