Base Nautique Colmar Houssen

About

Nestled just outside Colmar, the Base Nautique Colmar Houssen is a summer paradise where leisure and adventure meet. Stretching along a 380-meter sandy beach, with 250 meters dedicated to supervised swimming, it offers a safe and inviting escape for families. The highlight is its aquapark, a 1,000 m² playground on water featuring diving boards, trampolines, climbing walls, and slides, accessible to swimmers from age six. Visitors can also enjoy paddle and pedalo rentals, beach volleyball, and soccer, or simply relax on shaded lawns. With small-scale catering and a lively program of events including circuses and performances, the base is more than a swimming spot—it’s a vibrant hub of summer life in Alsace. Open from mid-May to late September, it remains one of Colmar’s most popular destinations for sun, fun, and unforgettable memories.
