Swimming and relaxing in Les Menuires

Les Menuires, the emblematic ski resort of the Trois Vallées, never ceases to surprise. As well as being famous for its exceptional ski area, the resort also offers a multitude of activities to recharge your batteries and take a dip after a day on the slopes or a hike in the summer.

The Centre Sportif, the resort's flagship facility, offers a swimming and wellness area for all ages. Its aqualudic area, with its slides and paddling pool, is ideal for families, while the swimming pool allows swimmers to do laps in an exceptional setting.

The Bruyères bubble is more dedicated to relaxation, with a sauna, hammam and jacuzzi.

And for the ultimate relaxation experience, nothing beats a visit to the Hôtel Higalik spa. Accessible to guests from outside the hotel, wellness professionals provide relaxing treatments for body and mind. With massages, saunas and steam rooms, it's hard not to succumb to the soothing atmosphere.

Le Lac du Lou

Located at an altitude of 2,206 metres in the Vanoise massif, this lake of glacial origin offers an exceptional panorama of the Alps.

🚌 How do I get to Lac du Lou?

To get to Lac du Lou in summer, we recommend taking the Masse chairlift, which will take you to an altitude of 2,450 metres. From here, you can take a well-marked hiking trail, which takes around an hour to walk to Lac du Lou.

Lac du Lou is also an ideal spot for a picnic break, a refreshing swim or simply to enjoy the tranquillity of nature.

The water is cool, of course, and if you're a little chilly, the two Les Menuires swimming pools are ideal for a dip.
