Beaches and lakes for a swim in the great outdoors

Fancy a dip with a view? The beach at the Challes-les-Eaux lake and the “Les Îles du Chéran” leisure centre offer the perfect settings for swimming, relaxing or having fun. These lifeguard-supervised beaches are ideal for families with children, with picnic areas, play areas and water sports just a towel’s throw away. A guaranteed escape into the heart of unspoilt nature.

Swimming pools and water parks to suit all tastes

For a change of pace, head to the swimming pools! In Chambéry, the Stade water park welcomes you with its heated pools, slides and massage jets. The Buisson Rond swimming pool, spacious and light-filled, is perfect for swimming all year round. In Les Aillons-Margériaz, the municipal swimming pool offers a refreshing break after a hike in the mountains.

Experience summer like a local

Chambéry Montagnes—it’s also a way of life. Between dips in the pool, try some local artisan ice cream, have an impromptu picnic by the water’s edge, or give stand-up paddleboarding a go. All just a few minutes from the town. This summer, swap the air conditioning for a refreshing getaway, in the invigorating spirit of the Élixir de Savoie.
