Sports & Fitness in Avoriaz — 2 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.

If you are staying at Pierre and Vacances Avoriaz in summer, Aquariaz is free for your children under 16 with the Aquariaz Plus Package.

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.
