Water sports and leisure activities Drôme

Lake Champos is in the heart of an estate of more than 40 hectares where you can enjoy the various pleasures of a large leisure centre. Family swimming in optimal water quality, diving from the pontoons, windsurfing, pedal boat, large water slide (for a fee), fishing, etc. The Champos lake is also a starting point for horse riding, hiking or mountain biking to discover the paths of the Herbasse. The lake is now pedestrian for the nature and peace of the site! Also on site: a campsite.

A watering hole in a natural setting. It's a year-round meeting place for locals looking for a breath of fresh air. In summer, the leisure center attracts families for swimming. There's also a fitness trail, picnic tables, a playground, a geology and archaeology trail and a restaurant. Canoes, paddles, rowing boats, kayaks and electric scooters for hire. Pay parking in summer. Refund if restaurant. Free access for pedestrians, cyclists and buses.

This inter-communal facility houses a sports pool, a leisure area and a spa/fitness area. Here is a leisure and pleasure center with indoor pools, outdoor pools with a double slide and aquatic activities: counter-current, blower, aquagym, aquatonic, aquajogging... Something for the whole family, from seniors to baby swimmers, with a wellness area with sauna, hammam...

The Saint-Paul 2003 space opened in 1984 has given way to the new aquatic center L'Odyssée'O, a beautiful modern space with a total surface area of 3,500 m² with a sports pool of 6 lanes and 25 m long and a 200 m² activity pool equipped with bubbling benches, swan necks, water cannons, counter-current swimming system, paddling pool and Pentagliss. There is also a wellness area with sauna and steam room. In the fitness room, group classes are scheduled.

Aloha: welcome to this aquatic centre which is like an oasis in summer and very pleasant in winter. With its two pools, one of which is an Olympic-size 25 m pool that can host international competitions and a capacity of 1,000 people (!), you can dive into the world of water pleasures - swimming against the current, an 80 m slide, a fun pool, a paddling pool and a bubble bath. Outside, 4,000^m2 of greenery for picnics or table tennis. You will appreciate the 4-lane outdoor pentaglide which ends in the pool and the restaurant.

The Ardèche is not the only river where you can go white water rafting. The Drôme also offers some great sensations. Of course the flow is not the same and at the height of the summer, you will sometimes have to push your canoe on some dry areas. Anyway, this is a very nice way to discover, along the water, the Drôme landscapes. Going down the Drôme on portions ranging from 2 to 49 km, in a few hours or in two days, you will be able to admire the singular mountain of the Three Beaks under all its aspects and its colors according to your picnic or swimming stops and according to the time. Canoë Drôme has been established in Saillans for more than thirty years and offers you 400 boats spread over two bases, one in Saillans (Lido, the pioneer of canoeing bases in the Drôme, installed more than twenty years ago) and the other in Crest/Aouste-Sye. You have a choice of boats: canoe-kayak, raft, mini-raft or hotdogs (inflatable canoes for two people). Please note: we provide you with life jackets and waterproof boxes to store your belongings, and we pick you up by shuttle upon arrival. Those who are allergic to water can rent electrically powered bicycles to ride the "river path" along the Drôme. In season, there is a snack bar (meal tray or more elaborate menu), a convenience store (sun cream, tee-shirt, glasses...) and wifi access to send live pictures of your exploits! Discount for reservations on the website.

If you can rent a peaceful canoe-kayak that will lead you along the Drôme - not always well hay - to the Rhone, you can still indulge in less relaxing and exciting activities such as caving, rafting, canyoning, via ferrata, mountain biking and climbing.

Stand-up paddle, water ski, water games and other splashing fun await you in Vercheny. Between rivers and mountains, this artificial lake is a friendly water sports base where you can meet with friends or family to share moments of sliding, stand-up paddle sessions, challenges on the water games, have a drink at the snack bar or simply enjoy a terrace ideally located. A qualified team welcomes you to make you live great sensations. Materials and equipment provided.

You can practice several water sports such as wakeboarding, water skiing, buoyancy, paddle or pedal boat, but also collective beach sports such as beach volleyball, tennis, soccer, petanque field... Also on the program is a health course and special activities for children. And to eat, there is the Belle Étoile, a guinguette with drinks, snacks, theme meals, popular dances in a friendly and festive atmosphere. We particularly appreciate the inflatable water structures for young and old.

Administered by the town, the Montélimar leisure park offers a variety of activities for all ages and tastes! On a 10-hectare site, including 6 hectares of water, you can choose between fishing, swimming, cycling or walking, enhanced by a fitness trail or orienteering course. You can also play miniature golf, soccer, basketball or pétanque. Facilities include pedal-boat and paddle-boat hire, water games (inflatables) and a dance hall.

Close to the Valence/Grenoble freeway entrance, on a huge site with ample parking and views of the Vercors, this aquatic complex is now managed by the Vert Marine group. It's a full-service center with several baths, water games, a wellness area (with a wide choice of massages and massages) and a fitness area, with an outdoor beach in fine weather. A restaurant has just opened at the edge of the aquatic center and a leisure center is under development.

The site offers a beautiful, vast leisure area with a fishing pond where you can dip your lines and buy your catch, a fish farm where you can buy trout by the kilo (and truitelles for frying!), a swimming pond with beach and picnic area in the shade. There's also mini-golf and a play area for children. You can also enjoy a drink at the bar, or dine at the restaurant. An ideal family outing.

Linaë ? It is the name of a water divinity associated with lakes and water lilies and in Tain-l'Hermitage, it is above all a welcome aquatic, relaxation and sports space: hammam, indoor and outdoor pools... Between the Rhone and the hillsides, it is structured to encourage intergenerational links through the learning and practice of swimming. Be careful, for the youngest, it is not always adapted, especially if they like to run around! The plus : the gym is high up and has a bay window with a view of the Rhône.
