New Denver, BC

Ready for a change of scenery to revitalize your wellness routine? Escape with the Noodlelegs crew to beautiful New Denver for our debut Noodlelegs Wellness Retreat, with exclusive private use of the entire New Denver Lodge!

Enjoy a variety of fun activities designed to support resilience, mobility and overall health:   explore gentle, scenic trails with vibrant fall colours on Nordic Pole Walking & Gentle Stretching Adventures;  move with ease in Aqua Fit sessions in the indoor pool (shallow and deep water);  and build controlled strength in morning and evening Essentrics® classes with Noodlelegs Health & Fitness.

All activities are led by a certified instructor and are designed to leave you feeling energized and refreshed. Sessions also create a relaxed setting to connect with others while encouraging motion and well-being. 

Between activities:  Read a novel on one of the patios by a fire.  Grab a coffee and visit with fellow Noodleleggers. Unwind in the pool or sauna. Melt the worries away in the outdoor commercial-sized hot tub while absorbing breathtaking views of Slocan Lake and the majestic Vahalla Mountains.
