Dicas de wellness: Praia

Estavayer-le-Lac is a medieval town situated beside Lake Neuchâtel and is home to the best-equipped watersports centre in Switzerland.The highlight is a ride on the 800-metre long water skiing lift - Switzerland’s longest.

Sun, sand and – shores: on the southern shore of Lake Neuchâtel, summer brings a holiday feeling. This area, which is rich in biodiversity and mostly protected, has several bathing beaches that can compete with well-known beaches worldwide thanks to the white sandy beaches, turquoise-blue waters and water sports activities on offer.

It’s finally time to head to the beach in Geneva! Eaux-Vives Beach raises the bar, with superb views of the Jet d’Eau water fountain and its new “Anneau Aquatique” ring-shaped platform right over the water, which is a lovely spot to relax.

The Seebad lakeside baths offer perfect seasonal bathing pleasure in the heart of the city of Lucerne. It is open for swimmers until 8 p.m. in summer, after which it is dedicated to restaurant-goers for the rest of the evening. As well as bathing, swimming, and sunbathing, massage and yoga are also available.

Em Arosa, a uma altitude de 1.800 metros, as famílias vão descobrir algo normalmente só encontrado à beira-mar: uma encantadora prainha onde adultos e crianças vão querer ficar. Banhar-se em Untersee, até 1920, era exclusividade reservada aos homens – as mulheres tinham de se contentar com a água mais fria do Obersee (o lago superior).

Just a few minutes from the city centre, shady green spaces, tall trees and a pebble beach offer the perfect spot for fun in the water and relaxation. Walking trails wind their way through the expansive lawned areas, and the view of the Bernese Alps is simply marvellous.
