A day trip to Bozel

The Bozel lake is a beautiful area to while away the day with lots of grassed areas around on which to relax. The lake is free to enter and manned with lifeguards for your safety with some areas sectioned off for safer swimming. There is also a shallow area for small children or anyone just wanting a paddle. With the warm temperatures over the past few weeks the lake is currently at a nice temperature in which to cool off.

If you get bored lazing around there are pedaloes for hire, a beach volleyball area and a small climbing wall. There is a nice flat walking track around the lake with additional walks leading off if you fancy a hike.

With lots of picnic tables dotted around I witnessed some very professional picnic set-ups going on! If you don’t fancy carting your lunch around however there is a lovely restaurant next to the lake also serving drinks and ice creams if you need some refreshment.

The trees created some welcome shade today with most groups opting for the cooler bathing areas. There are no restrictions on the lake for taking inflatables if you want to take your rubber ring or inflatable crocodile!

Nearby there is also the opportunity to fly over the lake via parapente and without a cloud in the sky today, there would have been some stunning views.

In the village of Bozel there is a market every Thursday during the summer months and coming up on 14 July for Bastille Day you can also head to the lake for some fireworks. A pretty stunning location I would imagine to join in the celebrations.

If you are staying in a different valley to Courchevel, Bozel is just 10 minutes from Moutiers, and well worth the trip.
