5 winter campsites with swimming pool in the Alps
Winter means frost and snow crunching underfoot. This is the favorite time of skiers and other winter sports fans. But it can also be a time to relax in the water and admire the mountain peaks - at the same time!
Although bathing is associated more with heat than frost, there are many people who cannot imagine a winter holiday without them. And it's not just about soaking in hot springs. If you would like to swim in the pool in winter, you have quite a selection of campsites. Among other things, great places await you in the Alps - on the Italian or Austrian side. Check it out for yourself!
Pools at Caravan Park Sexten
Let's first take a popular winter campsite located in South Tyrol. There you will find a camping site , a hotel with comfortably furnished rooms and apartments, as well as an option for glamping fans. Caravan Park Sexten tempts with its location and views, after all, it is located in the Dolomites. It attracts with a lot of amenities, and the quality of services is confirmed by a five-star rating.
The five stars really show here. Whatever you talk about, you can safely add the term "luxury". This also applies to swimming pools. Fans of relaxation in the water will be delighted. They have at their disposal, among others: indoor and outdoor swimming pools, as well as a heated variant. You can enjoy a bath even during a blizzard - you will look at the snow and at the same time relax in the warmth. There is also a paddling pool for children, a jacuzzi, a steam room, saunas and a SPA.
The swimming pools are perfect for families with children. The water is specially heated to 31°C in the main pool and to 34°C in the paddling pool, where there is sand and sand toys for the children's safety and fun! Children can enter the sauna twice a week at certain times.
Caravan Park Sexten is located at an altitude of 1,500 m above sea level and lies directly on the ski slope, which leads to the Signaue cable car (resort Drei Zinnen). You can also reach the railway station by free ski bus. You do not need to have a ski pass to use the ski bus, because the bus ticket is included free of charge with your stay at the campsite.
In addition to skiing, snowboarding or cross-country skiing, I recommend taking a walk along one of the many trails that start at the campsite. We recommend, among others: trail to Kreuzberg Pass. At reception you can ask for help in finding a trail that suits your requirements.
Stadlerhof
Let's now move from Italy to Austria. Another campsite with a swimming pool awaits us here, smaller than its predecessor, but by no means worse. It is located in Tyrol, near the Krummsee lake, famous for its beauty. It is called Stadlerhof , and it invites its guests to stay overnight on pitches, in apartments and glamping houses. This is a perfectly organized place, in beautiful surroundings and with delicious cuisine. And these are just a few of its many advantages.
As for the swimming pool area, the campsite has outdoor swimming pools. You can use the sauna, and if you find that your tan is too weak, you can also use the solarium. The range of wellness services will meet the expectations of vacationers who need to recharge their batteries. Returning to the topic of swimming pools, the facility has prepared something for lovers of swimming without textiles. Both in summer and winter you can enjoy naturism from 5-9 p.m.
Sportcamp Woferlgut
The next hint also concerns Austria. This time we present to you a really large recreation complex that has already charmed many tourists. Like the previous campsites, Sportcamp Woferlgut is open all year round. In the warm months you can swim in its lake. There is a slack-line over the water, and next to the pond there is a rope park suspended just above the ground. You do not need to be secured to use it and it is available to everyone without additional fees.
In winter, you will lose track of time indoors. And this is not an ounce of exaggeration. The campsite has indoor sports pools, a year-round heated swimming pool and an indoor swimming pool full of attractions. Do you want to relax in the water with your family? No problem! You have a zone for yourself where you can have great fun even when your little one is a baby.
The campsite's swimming pools are adapted to the needs of every camper, including people with disabilities. But it is not everything. This beautiful campsite in the mountains provides access to a wide range of SPA & Wellness services. In addition, it offers treatments that improve not only your mood, but also your health. If you suffer from cardiovascular disease or other ailments, test one of them. The swimming pool complex has an additional fee, but it is worth going there because it is the only campsite in Europe, and maybe even in the world, with an Olympic-sized swimming pool.
The facility's offer is so attractive that we almost skipped accommodation. The campsite has pitches for campers; it also has caravans, rooms and apartments.
The campsite also has a great restaurant. Be sure to eat Apfelstrudel here!
Alpencamping Nenzing
Another proposition we have prepared for you is an Austrian year-round facility providing spectacular views of the mountains. Alpencamping Nenzing , as it is called, is located in the town of Nenzing, in the state of Vorarlberg. It is unique in every respect, and is especially charming with its offer of glamping cottages. Do you dream of unconventional accommodation in exclusive conditions? Do you want to taste delicious regional dishes and admire unforgettable landscapes right after waking up? Coming here will be a hit!
The campsite is located quite high in the mountains and is accessed by a one-way narrow road among single-family houses. But don't worry, even large campers over 3.5 tons and cars with large trailers come here. Moreover, the residents of nearby houses are very understanding. In winter, a ski bus runs from the campsite to the nearby ski resort.
The campsite has a closed playroom with climbing and sliding elements; there is also a small cinema and an "ordinary" playground.
This is definitely not your average Alpine campsite. Modern and at the same time run with heart (for several decades by one family), everyone who visits it will like it. It has several swimming pools, a wellness center and a bathhouse. On the terrace by the pool you can relax on sun loungers during the day, and in the evenings you can light a bonfire and listen to live Tyrolean music.
We highly recommend this place!
Family & Wellness Vidor Resort
To see the last complex, which can also be visited in winter, we have to return to Italy. Family & Wellness Vidor Resort is located in the heart of the Fassa Valley, in the Dolomites. It doesn't matter whether you like caravanning or prefer to stay in a room, apartment or cottage. You will certainly find the right option for you in the accommodation database.
If you want to see the landscapes of Pozza di Fassa, book a place here. It is worth emphasizing that this is not just a campsite with a swimming pool, but a complex with a water park. You can swim as much as you want and admire the mountain landscape through the large windows. At your disposal, among others: a large swimming pool with a panoramic view, a variant for the youngest (spray park) and for parents with children, slides and an outdoor swimming pool with a jacuzzi.
