There are several options for swimming training in the area around Bourg Saint Maurice and Montchavin:

Plan d'Eau Swimming Lake

This is a specially build freshwater swimming lake about 30 mins cycle, from either of our chalets. From Bourg it is a flat trail, if you cycle there from Montchavin you will be going uphill on the way home. It is free to use, has a sandy beach, a cafe, a toilet block, a free car park and lots of grass and trees to provide shade.

The council clean and re-fill the lake every year and it has a slight current feeding fresh water from the river so it is very clean. The water is a similar temperature to the sea. Plan d'Eau opens at the start of June and isn't emptied until October. Triathletes will find it ideal because it is surrounded by cycle paths.

Bourg Olympic Sized Swimming Pool

A few minutes walk from the chalet in Bourg st Maurice is an open air 50m pool which is open every day from the middle of June until October. There is a also a covered 25m pool and a separate children's pool and saunas which are open all year round.

The price of entry varies but is only around 4 Euros for unlimited access. We are members of the triathlon club so guests who stay with us get to use the pool out of hours when it is particularly quiet, but they do also have training lanes kept separate all day for triathletes.

Montchavin-Les-Coches Swimming Pool

There is an indoor heated pool and an outside terrace, with a jacuzzi a few minutes walk from our chalet in Montchavin. They provide training lanes. Entry costs 3.10 Euros for adults, or you can buy 10 entries for 23.50 Euros.
