Where to swim in Courchevel

Aquamotion is the region's largest aquatic leisure centre. Whether you want to relax in winter after a good day's skiing or cool off in summer after a hike, Aquamotion is the perfect place to recharge your batteries.

Located in the heart of the resort, just a few minutes from the ski slopes, this aqualudic centre is a must during your stay in Courchevel.

With a surface area of 15,000 square metres, this complex offers a wide range of activities for all the family, from swimming to aquabike lessons, not forgetting great descents down giant slides.

Aquamotion has a 25-metre-long pool with 4 swim lines, perfect for swimmers, and a fun pool for jumping and diving.

Children will love having fun in the 110-metre-long wild river or in the colourful baby pool for the little ones.

Adults (over 18s) can also enjoy a moment of pure relaxation in the Aquawellness area.

They can start by discovering the indoor and outdoor wellness pool with massaging jets, bubble benches providing micro-massages and jacuzzis.

Next, the sea grotto invites you to meditate and let go, with water heated to 32°C and a high level of salinity. It's a great way to lie back in the water and simply let your body float away from all your everyday worries.

For those who like it hot, there are three saunas where you can enjoy the dry heat. To start with, there's a soft sauna at 50°C, then a sauna at 85°C and finally, for the brave, a Finnish sauna at 95°C.

For wet heat, head for the hammam or caldarium.

And of course, since it's best to alternate between hot and cold, buckets of cold water and crushed ice will be available.

And for those who want to extend the wellness experience, why not try a hot stone massage, or a cocooning treatment under a fine rain at 38°C for a moment of absolute relaxation?

Located in Courchevel Le Praz, Lac du Praz is an oasis of tranquillity nestling in the heart of the Alps. This small, high-altitude lake is surrounded by mountains and offers breathtaking views of the surrounding peaks.

There are several options for getting to Lac du Praz. If you're driving, you can take the D91 departmental road between Courchevel and Méribel. Then simply follow the signs to Lac du Praz.

Once you're there, there are plenty of things to do. First of all, Lac du Praz is an ideal place for water sports. You can go canoeing, kayaking, pedal-boating or stand-up paddling.

As far as water temperature is concerned, Lac du Praz is fed by mountain springs, so the water is fairly cool. However, in summer, the water temperature can reach 20°C, making it easy to enjoy a swim.

Lac du Praz has several beaches, pontoons and an area with just 10cm of water, ideal for small children.

If you're looking for somewhere to eat near the lake, you can head to the Bistrot du Praz restaurant, just a short walk from the lake. This restaurant offers quality cuisine at great value for money.
