Swimming....
The winter skiing and snowboarding season is sometimes overshadowed by the amazing amount of activities that can be found from Chalet JoJo's during the summer.
Not only are we installing our very own 'splash' pool, but there is the vast outdoor swimming center in Morzine.
Morzine Pool
This has, three pools. An Olympic sized pool for mainly adults and 'better' swimmers, a childrens pool that starts at a very shallow depth and goes to a maximum of 1.2m deep and a Kiddies paddling pool with an activity center. Their is also a slide for the children and 'bigger' kids to enjoy!
The Lakes
There are many mountain lakes but some, have marked swimming areas. Lac Montriond can be swum in but there is also a smaller lake that has a life-guard and a picnic area. It is free to swim. Les Gets lake also has a life guard. It has a small slide for the children and costs xx per day. Lac Leman (Lake Geneva) has many swimming areas dotted around from the family orientated to the secluded. Most are free but, where there is a life guard, there will normally be a small fee.
Ville de Thonon Plage
25 minutes drive away is Thonon's 'city of water'. Open from May to Spetember, it has 3 heated swimming pools: 50m, 25m and 12,5m poll with sand. There is also, 300m of supervised bathing area by the lake, multiple diving boards a water slide of 100m plus play-grounds for volleyball and table tennis.
