50m from the campsite · Blue Flag
The lac de Carouge, 50 m from the campsite
A former gravel pit turned leisure park, the lac de Carouge is our direct neighbour: the beach is just a one-minute walk from the campsite. Awarded the Blue Flag label every year, it is supervised by lifeguards from 9 am to 6 pm in July and August, with water temperatures ranging between 17 and 22°C.
On-site, you can rent pedal boats and paddleboards. Anglers have a choice between two lakes: the large one, up to 30m deep, and the small, shallow one, reserved for fishing. You can find all the details on our Lac de Carouge and fishing pages.
And when it gets really hot?
The campsite’s heated swimming pool takes over: a 6 × 15 m pool at 27°C, complete with a shallow paddling area for children.
20 mins away · Les Marches
Lake Saint-André, born from the landslide of Mount Granier
During the night of November 24 to 25, 1248, part of Mount Granier collapsed. From this chaos of rocks, Lake Saint-André was born in Les Marches, just 20 minutes from the campsite. Today, the Apremont and Abymes vineyards grow on these landslide remains.
An easy 25-minute trail loops around the lake, winding between reeds and rows of vines. The lake is also on the Tour des Bauges cycling route, which then connects back to lac de Carouge.
35 mins away · Le Bourget-du-Lac
Lake Bourget, 35 minutes away
Stretching over 18 km, this is the largest glacial lake in France, and the deepest located entirely within the country. You can go swimming at Le Bourget-du-Lac or Aix-les-Bains, take a boat to Hautecombe Abbey, or follow the Savières canal up to Chanaz.
45 mins away · Haute-Savoie
Lake Annecy, 45 minutes away
Spanning 27 km², Lake Annecy is famous for its water, renowned as one of the cleanest in Europe. Enjoy sandy beaches in Sevrier, Saint-Jorioz, or Menthon-Saint-Bernard, boat trips to Talloires, and explore the old town of Annecy just 55 minutes from the campsite.
Even further: two other lakes in Savoy
Lake Aiguebelette · 45 mins away
Motorboats have been banned here since 1967, and the water temperature often reaches 24 to 26°C in summer. Its shores are private, meaning most beaches require an entrance fee.
Lake Roselend · 1 hr 20 mins away
Held back by a dam in the Beaufortain region, this high-altitude lake offers a stunning high-mountain backdrop, perfect for a day of hiking.
