Amongst this vast expanse of land lies a multitude of facilities just waiting to be explored; one of the most incredible features among them being the enormous Eurolac water sports centre.

In view from even the top of the Jura Mountains, this breathtaking 650 metre man-made lake has been created and designed with water sports fanatics in mind.

Despite being a top of the range facility, guests of all standards are more than welcome to try their hands at wakeboarding, water-skiing, mono-skiing and even barefoot skiing!
