Radium Hot Springs, British Columbia

When Nature Heals and Community Welcomes

Radium Hot Springs is a scenic resort village located at the southern entrance to Kootenay National Park and minutes north of Invermere. Known for its natural hot springs, relaxed pace of life, and close connection to nature, Radium offers a unique small-community lifestyle with opportunities in tourism and hospitality.
