Heated aquatic area in La Bourboule: indoor pool, lagoon and sauna
At Camping Les Vernières the water is 28 °C, even when the Sancy mountains feel a little fresh. Our aquatic area brings together a heated indoor pool open all season, a heated lagoon and paddling pool for the summer, a water slide and a private sauna you can book. All just a few steps from your pitch or rental, in the heart of the Massif du Sancy.
