Landeron Pool: large pool, slides, and children's pool by Lake Biel
Want a day by the outdoor pool with the kids, by Lake Bienne? The Landeron Pool features its large swimming pool, slides, and octagonal wading pool set on spacious shaded lawns, just a stone's throw from the old medieval town of Landeron. Perfect for swimming, sliding, and splashing around all summer long with the family.
A Family Outdoor Pool by Lake Biel
In Landeron, when the sun is out, we head to the pool. Located by Lake Biel, in a calm and green setting, the Landeron Pool features outdoor basins set on wide lawns lined with birch trees. There is a large sports pool with eight lanes, a gently sloping pool for non-swimmers, and an octagonal wading pool for the little ones. Two slides, including one that is 63 meters long, delight the older kids. Just a stone's throw from the old medieval town and its vineyards, it is the perfect spot for a full day of swimming with the family, from morning until the coolness of the evening.
What Your Children Will Discover
Your children will discover a real outdoor pool with everything needed for fun at every age. The youngest can splash around confidently in the octagonal wading pool, with its 30 centimeters of water, while children learning to swim can enjoy the non-swimmer pool, which has a depth ranging from 90 to 140 centimeters. The older kids will rush to the slides: a large 63-meter slide and a steep Speedy slide. And for those who want to swim for real, the Olympic pool with eight lanes offers all the necessary space.
What to Do There and the Atmosphere
Here, you come for a full day: swimming laps, sliding down the slides, playing in the wading pool, and taking long breaks on the lawn. The atmosphere is family-friendly and relaxed, enhanced by the large grassy areas where you can spread out towels and picnic in the shade of the birch trees. In the morning, an aquagym session is offered daily for adults while the children return to the water. You can eat on-site and enjoy the terraces, then jump back into the water as soon as the heat returns.
