Beaches / Lake Geneva Water Sports
What could be more
pleasant in summer than cooling off in water with a temperature of
between 20-24°C?
In the Savoie Haute-Savoie, four lakes are specifically geared to the
joys of swimming, with facilities and activities that include natural
beaches, games, swimming lessons, toboggans, dinghy, motorboat and
pedalo hire etc.
With lakes that vary in appearance and atmosphere such as Lake Geneva, Le Bourget and Lac d'Annecy (the cleanest lake in Europe), visitors to the Savoie Haute-Savoie are spoilt for choice when it comes to water sports, with an average water temperature of 23°C, and activities that include yachting, windsurfing, dinghy-sailing, motorboat charter, water-skiing and wake-boarding. Alternatively, why not try your hand at diving or rowing in the beautiful setting of the Lac d'Aiguebelette, or head for our mountain streams to indulge in the adrenaline-inducing pursuits of rafting, hot-dogging, canoeing and kayaking, hydrospeeding and white-water swimming!
