Overview

Nestled on the heights of Gryon, in the heart of the Alpe des Chaux and facing the majestic Miroir d'Argentine, the Lac de Frience is an ideal swimming area to cool off on sunny days!

In the middle of the green mountain pastures, the lake of Frience is an artificial lake which is perfectly integrated into its environment.

You will find three pools designed to satisfy the youngest and the oldest:

A paddling pool up to 40 cm deep located in the small pool next to the Refuge de Frience
An area for non-swimmers with a maximum depth of 90 cm located in the small pool next to Solalex
A large pool up to 2.50 metres deep, ideal for swimming

A water regeneration area, recognisable by its aquatic plants (not accessible for swimming) completes the facilities.
