Water sports and leisure activities Wallonie

Aqualibi had a serious facelift a few years ago. From the locker rooms to the slides, everything has been redesigned. Adjacent to the Walibi Park, this immense pyramid in the middle of the 7,000 ^m2 park attracts thrill-seekers. The Xtreme and its vertiginous descent at 50 km/h awaits the most reckless. The Rapido River promises a lot of fun, as does the wave pool. In the Lagoon and its whirlpools, the atmosphere is more zen. The redesigned and extended children's area (now 700 m²) is aimed at the youngest children who are not yet swimming.

This diving center is located in Écaussinnes, in a former bluestone quarry that has been transformed into a unique space. A true paradise for divers, the site features a 15-hectare, 44-metre-deep stretch of water with attractive scenery and a multitude of fish. After more than 20 years of closure, the site is finally reopening its doors with a project that is above all human and friendly: diving courses (scuba, apnea, snorkeling), kayak and padel rentals... In addition to water sports, there's also a restaurant and, soon, accommodation.

As a gateway between the French and Dutch canal and waterway networks, the Grand Large marina is a truly European site. The park occupies a large area with 157 moorings and a complete infrastructure, including a harbor master's office with sanitary blocks and laundry facilities, and a brand-new club house. From the marina, discover the historic Canal with its historic elevators and the Strépy-Thieu funicular elevator.

Renipont beach is to Lasne what the Atomium is to Brussels: inseparable. A haven of greenery and an open-air aquatic leisure zone that delights young and old alike. A superb lake fed exclusively by springs. This natural site is perfectly maintained with its white sandy beach, lawn, children's playground and cabins. When the vacations are still a long way off, it's the ideal place to swim and spend the day with friends. La Guinguette offers a brasserie menu and terrace.

During the summer season, the Pontoon allows water sports enthusiasts to practice their sports. Adults, teenagers or children, each amateur will find his or her account. More precisely to practice or use towed buoys, wakeboard and water skiing, kayaks, canoes and paddles. This is an opportunity to remind people that speed sports and those using muscle power cannot be practised just anywhere on the Meuse. For more information, contact the Maison du Tourisme. In addition to the practice, the Ponton also allows initiation to water skiing.
