Water sports and leisure activities Mercus Garrabet

The Ariège is used to ski lifts! This one will not take you to the top of the Tute de l'Ours nor to the peak of Cadène but will give you strong sensations, just as pleasant on the river of the same name. You will be pulled on 800 m at the speed of a speedboat by one of the oldest ski lifts of France. Everything is secure, supervised, and a boat will even come to pick you up in case of trouble. Pedal boats and paddles are also available. The site offers a sandy beach overlooking a peninsula, volleyball courts, a picnic area and barbecue.

Covering a surface of 45 hectares, Lake Mercus is the paradise of sportsmen and women. And they are right: Its water base and relaxation area are perfect for the return of the beautiful days. While some will take the rays of the sun on the sandy beach, others will enjoy the freshness of the water on board a pedal boat or a padde stand-up that are rented on time. The originality of the lake: its nautical ski lift! A double cable allows you to initiate or train water skiing on a 760-metre course.

Tariff: from 10 € for a paddle stand or pedal boat (3 to 4 people).
