温泉の名物

アジアの観光客にも人気の氷瀑まつり
滝も凍る層雲峡で1976年から続くのが、冬の名物イベント「氷瀑まつり」。石狩川の河川敷を利用した1万uの会場には氷のオブジェやトンネル、氷柱、アイスドーム、大自然をモチーフにした多彩な雪像等が並び、氷のステージでは氷瀑太鼓などを開催。なかでも氷の展望台は高さ15mもあり、会場全体を360度見渡せる。夜には建造物が神秘的にライトアップされ、氷で造られた「氷爆神社」と、フィナーレを飾る花火「火の宴」は特に人気。

温泉のあれこれ

層雲峡の名を広めた文人、大町桂月
幕末期の開湯で、1900年に塩谷温泉と名付けられ、1913年には国沢温泉となって数軒の温泉宿が営業。明治・大正期の歌人、大町桂月が大正年間に訪れ、紀行文「層雲峡から大雪山へ」で「富士山に登って山岳の高さを語れ、大雪山に登って山岳の大きさを語れ」と紹介し、その名が広まった。50年代に温泉地として整備され、層雲峡温泉と改名。大雪山登山の基地として人気が高く、年間約300万人が訪れる大雪山系最大の温泉郷となった。
