Swimming in the lake
Cholplatz lido
Open from mid-May to mid-September
The lido was voted one of the most beautiful swimming pools in Switzerland in 2012 and is located on the edge of the village of Gersau with a magnificent view of the surrounding mountain panorama and the village. It offers a family-friendly ambience including a children's pool. Visitors appreciate the manageable size, the beach volleyball court and the delicious snacks in the Badi-Beizli. Stand-up paddles are available for hire.
Car parking spaces are available. The lido is easily accessible by bike. It is about a 15-minute walk from the village centre.
Kindli lido
Open from mid-May to mid-September
This family lido with children's pool is in an idyllic location. Nestled between pine trees, it exudes a wildly romantic, southern charm. An insider tip! All kinds of play and water equipment are available here free of charge. Take a plunge from the 3-metre board or relax on the swings on the raft. The pub is a great place to quench your hunger and thirst. The professional chef conjures up a selection of fresh salads, spaghetti and burgers, among other things. Stand-up paddles are available for hire.
Tip: Although there are a few car parks available, we still recommend travelling by bike or bus. (Bus stop "Gersau, Kindli")
A "Schwybogen-Kindli" lake crossing takes place every year on a Sunday in mid-August. Further information can be obtained from the Gersau information centre.
