After an active day in the saddle or on the slopes, visitors may enjoy the relaxing spa services provided by Hills Health's 15 treatment rooms. The very extensive spa menu offers everything from physiotherapy to a computerized lifestyle analysis to glacial clay body wraps. The spa is best known for its treatments that use Rosehip oil, which is derived from the 20,000 acres of Rosehip found on the Ranch.
The on-site Canadian Wellness Centre offers comprehensive programs that are based on the latest research on achieving long-term health. The Centre provides workshops on topics such as nutrition, stress management, menopause, and meditation. Participants can also opt for a complete medical evaluation with the Centre's resident doctor.
Additional spa facilities include a fully-equipped exercise facility, an indoor swimming pool, two hydrotherapy pools, and two dry saunas. Fitness classes range from NIA to self-defense to line dancing.

Rooms & Dining
Guests can stay in either the main lodge or in chalets. The lodge houses hotel-style rooms with simple furnishings and a wrap-around balcony that offers sweeping views of the surrounding countryside. Families or groups may choose to stay in one of the chalets, stand-alone structures which each have three bedrooms, a fully equipped kitchen, a living area, and two patios.
A country dining room located in the main building serves spa cuisine, with specialties like grilled eggplant and fresh herbs with couscous pilaf and toasted pecans for dinner and frozen yogurt crepes for dessert. A dining alternative is the 1871 Restaurant, where waiters and waitresses dress in period costumes. Menus at both restaurants indicate whether dishes are low calorie, low fat, or organic.
