Aigle Pool: the great outdoor swimming spot in Chablais for families
Are you looking for a large outdoor pool to spend a whole summer day with your family in Chablais? In Aigle, the pool on Avenue des Glariers features a 50 m pool, slides, a paddling pool, and vast lawns to settle down on. Everything you need to swim, slide, and picnic from morning to evening.
A Great Summer Day at the Foot of the Vaud Alps
In Aigle, the capital of the Vaud Chablais, the pool on Avenue des Glariers is one of those places where a family can lay down their towel in the morning and not leave until the end of the day. There is a large 50 m pool with a gradual depth, a shallower pool for beginner swimmers, and a paddling pool designed for the little ones. Around it, wide shaded lawns invite picnics and naps between dives. The setting, between vineyards and mountains, immediately gives a true vacation vibe. It’s the ideal spot when the thermometer rises and you want to keep the kids entertained without complicating life.
What Your Children Will Discover
Children have plenty to enjoy beyond just swimming. A large slide with a buoy delights the more adventurous, while a small slide animates the paddling pool for the youngest. A zip line above the large pool, a climbing wall, a hamster wheel, and a ping-pong table complete the play offerings. There is also a beach volleyball court and an 18-hole mini-golf to vary the fun when you’re done splashing around. In short, there’s plenty to alternate between water, games, and breaks throughout the day.
What to Do There and the Atmosphere on Site
The atmosphere is that of the large outdoor pools in the Romandy region: family-friendly, relaxed, lively without being noisy. You swim laps in the 50 m pool, slide down the slides, dry off in the sun on the lawn, and then head for a round of mini-golf. Thanks to a solar installation, the water is kept at a pleasant temperature of about 22 to 25 °C during the height of summer, making swimming comfortable even for the most sensitive to cold. A restaurant with a terrace allows you to eat on-site, including ice creams, for those who haven’t planned a picnic.
