Watersport Things To Do in Avoriaz — 3 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.

Aqua fitness
The lifeguards at Aquariaz offer aquatic sports classes including aqua zumba, fitness, slim, punishing and aqua step. All 45 minute classes.

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.

Enjoy exhilarating rapids as you twist and turn down the river. Rafting is with expert supervision and full safety equipment.

You'll need to bring a swimsuit, shoes and towel.
