Courchevel's New Aquamotion Centre
Aquamotion,
Courchevel
After several years of anticipation, Courchevel finally opened the doors to the fancy new swimming centre Aquamotion which is located between Courchevel Village and Courchevel Moriond (1550 and 1650 in old terms!) Our La Tania guests can access the pool using the free ‘navette’ bus – ask your chalet host for a bus timetable.
What’s inside?
Main Area
If you’re visiting with children then you’ll be heading straight to the ‘Espace Aqualudique’ which is a huge area with lots of places to explore. There’s a colourful children’s area with squirty flowers and a fun slide for the littlest swimmers.
Proper swimmers have a 25m lane pool, which is at a cool temperature so you have to keep going! There are exercise classes run in this part of the pool, such as aqua bike & aqua boxing.
For lounging around, there’s a main pool which is lovely and warm and at a standard depth throughout, with bubbly bits at one end and shoulder/neck massage showers. The heated exterior pool is separate to this – you enter on the inside then swim through to the outside which has several fun areas such as relaxing bubbly lounger spots, power massage showers and a swooshy lazy river. This outside area is lovely even when the snow is falling gently around you, just dunk your head every so often to warm up!
Inside this area is also a large red luge (hold your nose as you come into the main pool!) which anyone over 1m20 can use. There’s a ‘pentagliss’ slide which is fast and furious – anyone over 5 can use this slide. There’s also a diving pool which has a small jump and a much higher one. Anyone who dares is allowed to jump, children included!
Adults Only
For grown-ups (over 18) there is a separate ‘Espace Wellness’ with a darkened salt cave with chromotherapy lights and a projector (yes, really!) You can float around and watch the atmospheric films.
There’s a main pool which is both interior and exterior, with bubbly bits and water jets. The sauna and steam room are in this area, with a plunge pool to cool down after your heat treatment.
Indoor SurfingThis area is specifically designed for fun! Water jets allow activities such as wakeboarding, wake surf, wake skate and bodyboarding.
Spa Treatments
As you’d expect, there are all manner of relaxing options on offer in the Balneo & Spa area – facials, massage and waxing - as well as aqua treatments such as ‘hydrojet’ massage, seaweed wrap, hot and cold water baths and very fine ‘rain’ treatments. Prices start at 28€, or you can choose from day passes which start at 143€ and include various options from the treatment menu.
