Watersport Things To Do in Morzine — 8 of Our Favourites

Some of the features include:

The Water Playhouse
This colourful first space is dedicated to younger children and features geysers and pouring water play equipment including water slides, water guns and a tipping bucket that pours out tens of litres of water at a time. This extends into a large paddling pool.

The Slidewinder 
For the most adventurous bathers who are looking for big thrills and an adrenaline buzz. More than 10 metres up, you sit in a rubber tube and slide down a halfpipe, returning to terra firma after a long ride down.

The chill-out space
Located in the central pool, this space is made up of a gently flowing river with water games (bubbles, jets and faster and slower sections), two areas of bubble-massage seats, a 1.2 m deep pool below a climbing wall that extends for its entire length and not forgetting the outdoor Jacuzzi with its uninterrupted view of the valley.

You must be able to swim in order to take part in this activity.

You don't need to be a cross channel swimmer for this activity, but you need to like water and be at home in it! The most important thing is to learn the art of using fins. Once this is achieved hydrospeed is a piece of cake. Your guide will explain the basics of navigating down the river, how to enter and get out of the current and the rules of safety.

Meeting at Thonon les Bains, the activity lasts approximately one hour. There will be a maximum of 20 people per group.

Hydrospeeding is suitable for strong swimmers from the age of 14 upwards.

You'll descend into the canyon in several ways - walking, jumping, swimming, abseiling, sliding, etc. This activity can be done during the summer months and is a fun activity for all the family and friends!

Canyoning is suitable for all abilities from the age of 12 upwards, however, you must be able to swim and have a reasonable level of fitness.

For families with children from 8 to 11 years old, you can take part in this activity in the easier Balme canyon next to Cluses (45 minutes drive from Morzine).

The waterpark is open every day from late June until the end of August in summer. The main waterpark area is reserved for those over the age of eight (over 1m20), however there is a kid's park for children aged five to eight.

In summertime, the swimming complex at the edge of the Parc des Dereches, in the heart of Morzine, is the ideal place to while away a sunny day with all the family. The large outdoor paddling and teaching pools, volleyball courts, bouncy castle and waterslide will keep the kids entertained if you’re in the mood to hammer out some lengths in the Olympic sized pool (50x21m). The loungers and grassy park make for a great spot to catch up with friends, read a book or simply work on your tan.

There are three indoor pools for rainy days too: a paddling pool, teaching pool and 25x15m pool, as well as a large spa and sauna area with Turkish baths.

The changing rooms are well equipped with lockers, hairdryers and showers. There is a strict “no shorts” policy in the water, so no trunks or boardies allowed. However, vending machines provide swimming costumes and goggles for any forgotten necessities. The café supplies hungry swimmers with a host of treats from crêpes and ice creams to salads and sandwiches. Not a bad spot for a coffee either!
