4. Parc des Dereches

Location
Morzine

The Morzine Parc des Dérêches sports centre offers a wide range of sports and fitness activities in summer and winter.

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! 

Indoor and outdoor ice skating rinks are open in winter, both for public use and for ice hockey matches - come and cheer on the Morzine Penguins if there is a game on while you're in town.

Other facilities include tennis courts, fitness classes, basketball courts, skate park, walking trails, children's playground, street hockey rink, a treetop adventure park and a horse riding centre. Some of the facilities are free, others are paid - please see the website for all admission prices.
