Guests have access to not one but two water parks. There is also a 1,500 m2 area with a Lego brick theme.

A heated indoor pool with a jacuzzi is also availble with a countercurrent river and whirlpool bath. A water park area is reserved for children.

For an energy-packed holiday, you have come to the right place. Start the day with a jog or a mountain-bike ride, then follow up with a fitness session. Leisure activities, games and sports on the multi-sport pitch are on offer, as well as orientation courses and hiking. For something more peaceful, try a spot of diving in the pool.
