The new Aquamotion swimming pool in Courchevel 1550<\/a>\u00a0will have to be seen to be believed. Here are 9 amazing facts about it…<\/p>\n


\n1. It’s an Aqua Centre, not just a swimming pool<\/strong><\/p>\n

The first thing to know is that this is not just a swimming pool in Courchevel. The new Aquamotion Centre will have 7 (that’s SEVEN!) swimming pools, as well as three saunas, a steam room and outdoor hot tub.<\/p>\n

2. It’s not just for swimming<\/strong><\/p>\n

As well as all the pools and wellness, visitors will also be able to try out an endless surfing wave, a climbing wall, and a selection of restaurants.<\/p>\n

3. It was very expensive<\/strong><\/p>\n

The entire project cost\u00a0\u20ac63 million and was paid for entirely by the resorts of Courchevel.<\/p>\n

4. You can ride the rapids<\/strong><\/p>\n

In what we think is a first for a ski resort swimming pool, visitors will be able to ride 110m of wild water rapids in the fun area of the complex.<\/p>\n

5. It’s\u00a0free to get there<\/strong><\/p>\n

The Aquamotion centre can be travelled to free of charge by navettes from Courchevel 1850<\/a>. Holiday makers staying in the centre of\u00a0Courchevel 1650<\/a> can take a short journey on the resort escalator – and if you’re in one of the chalets lower down it’s literally a 5 minute walk away.<\/p>\n

6. But it’s quite expensive once you’re there<\/strong><\/p>\n

The adult price for a three hour visit is\u00a0\u20ac34 and\u00a0\u20ac12 for children. \u00a0If you want to try the surfing wave then that’s extra.<\/p>\n

\"\"

Aesthetically pleasing design<\/p><\/div>\n

7. It has a huge footprint<\/strong><\/p>\n

The total area covered by the site is 15,000 metres squared. \u00a0Designed by the German architect Eric Frisch, the building has been designed to blend into the local terrain. \u00a0During summer plants and grass will grow on the roof.<\/p>\n

8. 25m in pool, 10m on the wall<\/strong><\/p>\n

The four lane pool in the sport area will be 25 metres long. The climbing wall has routes up to 10m high and covers a total of 135 metres square.<\/p>\n

9. Feeling hot, hot, hot<\/strong><\/p>\n

Mmmm…what’s better than being in an steaming hot outdoors swimming pool. The temperature of the two outdoor pools will be 34C.<\/p>\n
