Overview

Aquatic area at Camping Europa Lac d’Annecy – Pool with a panoramic mountain view

The aquatic area at Camping Europa Lac d’Annecy is a major asset of the site, offering a 180° view over the surrounding Alpine peaks. It includes an outdoor pool for adults, a paddling pool for the little ones, slides and water games designed to entertain children of all ages against a stunning mountain backdrop. The whole area was designed to offer pure enjoyment for the whole family.

The pool-and-lake combination is one of the great pleasures of a stay at the Europa: Lake Annecy, just 400 metres from the campsite, offers landscaped beaches with supervised swimming, watersports centres offering paddleboarding, kayaking, pedalos and sailing, and some of the cleanest water in Europe. Holidaymakers can therefore freely alternate between the campsite pool and the lake beaches depending on the mood of the day.

A new feature for the 2026 season is the on-site rental of electric and standard bikes (for adults and children), making it easy to reach the lake beaches or explore the Alpine roads. Direct access to the cycle path makes getting around safe and easy right from the campsite exit.
