Morzine in the French Alps has a huge array of adventure activities to try and many of them are based in the water.
We have a fantastic swimming pool with indoor and outdoor pools, slides and toddler play pools. Montriond lake is in the most fantastic setting and is set up just like a beach, with areas to sunbath, picnic, hire kayaks and paddle boards. There are some very good restaurants and snack bars surrounding the lake too.
But you might not have investigated the more adventurous watery adventures to be had. Here are our Top 5 Watery Adventure Activities to try.

The Wibit is a waterpark composed of inflatable games on water. There is a mix of around 30 fun modules like giant toboggan, climbing wall, blob (human catapult) or the monkey ladders.
