5 winter campsites with swimming pool in the Alps

Winter means frost and crunching snow. It's a favorite season for skiers and other winter sports enthusiasts. But it can also be a time to relax in the water and admire mountain peaks—all at the same time!

Although bathing is often associated more with heat than frost, there are many people who can't imagine a winter vacation without it. And it's not just about soaking in hot springs. If you'd like to take a dip in a pool in winter, you have a wide selection of campsites. Among other places, there are great spots in the Alps – on the Italian and Austrian sides. Check them out for yourself!

Swimming pools at Caravan Park Sexten

First up, let's take a look at this popular winter campsite in South Tyrol. Here, you'll find a campsite , a hotel with comfortably furnished rooms and apartments, and even a glamping experience. Caravan Park Sexten It tempts with its location and views, after all, it's nestled in the Dolomites. It also boasts a wealth of amenities, and its five-star service quality confirms this.

The aforementioned five-star rating is truly evident here. Whatever you say, you could easily add the word "luxurious." This also applies to the pools. Water enthusiasts will be delighted. They have access to an indoor and outdoor pool, as well as a heated option. You can enjoy a swim even during a blizzard – you'll be gazing at the snow while relaxing in the warmth. There's also a paddling pool for children, a jacuzzi, a steam room, saunas, and a spa.

The 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, which is equipped with sand and sand toys for the safety and enjoyment of little ones! Children can use the sauna twice a week at set times.

Caravan Park Sexten is located at an altitude of 1,500 meters above sea level and is directly on the ski slope that leads to the Signaue gondola lift (Drei Zinnen resort). The gondola lift can also be reached by a free ski bus. You don't need a ski pass to use the ski bus, as the bus ticket is included free with your stay at the campsite.

In addition to skiing, snowboarding, cross-country skiing, and ski touring, I recommend taking a walk on one of the many trails that start at the campsite. We recommend the Kreuzberg Pass trail, among others. At reception, you can ask for help finding a trail that suits your needs.

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 inferior. Located in Tyrol, near the famously beautiful Lake Krummsee, Stadlerhof welcomes guests to stay overnight on pitches, in apartments, and glamping cabins. It's a superbly organized place, with beautiful surroundings and delicious cuisine. And these are just a few of its many advantages.

As for the pool area, the campsite has outdoor pools. You can use the sauna, and if your tan isn't quite right, you can also use the solarium. A range of wellness services will satisfy vacationers who need to recharge. Returning to the topic of pools, the facility has something for those who enjoy swimming without clothes. Both summer and winter, you can enjoy naturism from 5-9 PM.

Sportcamp Woferlgut

The next tip also concerns Austria. This time, we present a truly large recreation complex that has already charmed many tourists. Like the previous campsites, Sportcamp Woferlgut It's open year-round. During the warmer months, you can swim in the lake. A slackline stretches over the water, and next to the pond is a rope park suspended just above the ground. No safety equipment is required to use it, and it's available to everyone at no extra charge.

In winter, however, you'll lose track of time indoors. And that's no exaggeration. The campsite has indoor sports pools, a year-round heated pool, and an indoor pool full of attractions. Want to relax in the water with your family? No problem! You'll have your own area where you can have fun, even if your little one is just a baby.

The campsite's pools are adapted to the needs of every camper, including those with disabilities. But that's not all. This beautiful mountain campsite offers access to a wide range of spa and wellness services. It also offers treatments that improve not only your mood but also your health. If you suffer from cardiovascular disease or other ailments, try one of them. The pool complex is an additional fee, but it's worth a visit, as it's the only campsite in Europe, and perhaps even the world, with an Olympic-sized swimming pool.

The campsite's offerings are so attractive that we almost skipped the accommodations. The campsite offers pitches for campers, as well as caravans, rooms, and apartments.

The campground also has a great restaurant. Be sure to try the apfelstrudel!

Alpencamping Nenzing

Another suggestion we've prepared for you is a year-round Austrian campsite offering spectacular mountain views. Alpencamping Nenzing , as it's called, is located in Nenzing, Vorarlberg. It's unique in every way, and its glamping cabins are particularly captivating. Dreaming of unconventional accommodation in exclusive surroundings? Want to sample delicious regional cuisine and, upon waking, admire unforgettable landscapes? A visit here will be a perfect choice!

The campsite is located quite high in the mountains, and is accessed via a narrow, one-way road lined with single-family homes. But don't worry, even large campers over 3.5 tons and cars with large trailers are welcome. Furthermore, the residents of the surrounding houses are very understanding. In winter, the campsite runs a ski bus to the nearby ski resort.

The campsite has an enclosed playroom with climbing and sliding elements; there is also a small cinema and a "regular" playground.

This is definitely not your average Alpine campsite. Modern and lovingly run (by the same family for decades), it will appeal to everyone who visits. It boasts several pools, a wellness center, and a steam room. On the poolside terrace, you can relax on loungers during the day, and in the evenings, a bonfire and live Tyrolean music await.

We highly recommend this place!

Family & Wellness Vidor Resort

To discover the last resort, which can also be visited in winter, we must return to Italy. The Family & Wellness Vidor Resort is located in the heart of the Fassa Valley, in the Dolomites. Whether you enjoy caravanning or prefer to stay in a room, apartment, or chalet, you're sure to find the perfect accommodation.

If you want to explore the landscape of Pozza di Fassa, book your spot here. It's worth noting that this isn't just a campsite with a pool, but a complex with a water park. You can swim to your heart's content and admire the mountain landscape through the large windows. Among other amenities, you'll find a large swimming pool with panoramic views, a children's pool (spray park) and a family-friendly option, water slides, and an outdoor pool with a jacuzzi.
