Located in the middle of a Canadian forest, very close to the Olympic Village, Scandinave Spa Whistler was created in accordance with the principles of sustainable development, particularly with the use of green roofs, passive solar energy, high-efficiency heat-recovery and heating equipment, with an investment of 9 million Euros.  Scandinave Spa Mont-Tremblant, the first centre that opened in 1999, was recently selected as one of the 12 best ecotourism destinations in the world by the U.S. magazine, Organic Spa.
