Plage du lac de Saint-Jean-de-Chevelu

Plage du lac de Saint-Jean-de-Chevelu sits on the shore of this small lake in the foothills west of Chambéry. Supervised swimming 27 June to 27 August 2026, 12:00 to 18:00. Entry is paid, from €2 for an adult.

The regional health agency files this bathing site under the name « PLAN D'EAU ST JEAN DE CHEVELU » and rates it Good for the 2025 season, the most recent one published. 2022 to 2025 series: 6B · 4B · 5E · 5B.

The tourist office mentions parking nearby but publishes no rate for it. No official source says anything about accessibility here: neither accessible nor inaccessible — unknown. « Les animaux ne sont pas acceptés sur le site » — animals are not accepted on site, says the tourist office, whose own page carries both the contradictory tags « Animaux acceptés » and « Animaux non acceptés ». We quote the sentence, not the tags.

It does not follow the others' calendar. This beach is not run by Grand Lac: supervision ends on 27 August 2026, three days before the Lac du Bourget beaches, and the window is 12:00-18:00 rather than 13:00-19:00. Outside July and August, « l'accès au lac est libre » — access to the lake is free.

During the supervised season (27 June to 27 August 2026, 12:00 to 18:00). Outside that window no lifeguard is on duty and swimming is at your own risk.
