Serre-Ponçon Lake, where the park is located, is the second-largest artificial reservoir in Europe by water capacity.
The Plan d'Eau d'Embrun is separated from the main reservoir, allowing for calmer, warmer water conditions suited for families.
The inflatable structures are anchored to the lake bed and are subject to daily safety inspections by certified lifeguards.
The park's location in the Hautes-Alpes department provides a microclimate known for receiving over 300 days of sunshine annually.
Aquaparc Embrun is an inflatable floating obstacle course situated on the shoreline of Serre-Ponçon Lake, one of the largest artificial reservoirs in Europe. The course features modular structures including balance beams, slides, and climbing towers designed for aquatic play. It is located at the Plan d'Eau d'Embrun, a man-made body of water adjacent to the main lake specifically engineered for regulated swimming. The facility utilizes the surrounding high-alpine landscape of the Southern French Alps as a backdrop. Access to the water structures is restricted to individuals who can demonstrate basic swimming proficiency. The park operates as a seasonal installation that is removed from the water during colder months.
