Fun and excitement for all ages – aquabasilea is the new term, as classic as it is contemporary, for a feeling that is as old as mankind itself. Diving, bathing and swimming have been connected with relaxation, wellbeing, health and pleasure since time immemorial – the ancient element of water is also connected to the freedom of movement, activity and adventure. Of course, all of this applies to a leisure pool and most particularly to the Leisure Pool at aquabasilea.
- Wave machine
- Toddler pool
- 8 slides and wild water rapids totalling 804 metres in length
- Outdoor area with grotto, jacuzzi and rapids
For adventurers of all ages
Our little guests can discover the ancient element of water in a playful way that has been designed with children in mind. Older adventurers will hurl themselves into the excitement of the watery element – from the wave machine through to the activity pool and the various slides which cater for every experience factor with adrenaline kicks provided by free falls and high-speeds. And then it’s off outside to the relaxation pool or the wild water rapids that take you through the countryside.
Valle Verzasca Mountain Rapids
These wild water rapids wind through the rugged, grandiose scenery of Valle Verzasca in Ticino. The rapids carry you quickly downwards. If you are quick enough you can escape the current and take a break from the action in one of the three calm pools. At the end there is an extra kick... The rapids accelerate for the last few metres and whizz you round the last curve at full speed.
Length: 140 metres
Speed: max. 20 km/h
from age 6
Children under the age of six must be accompanied by an adult
Turbo Tube
Blue like the water with the effect of the sea. Here you fly through a shimmering blue underwater world accompanied by colourful light fishes – it’s much faster than the black Burn slide! Jump into the darkness and just before the end you are thrown from the slide into the landing pool.
Length: 120 metres
Speed: max. 35 km/h
from age 6
Children under the age of six must be accompanied by an adult
Wild Water Rapids
During the summer the Wild Water Rapids wind their way through the complex. Curves, tight spots and currents add excitement to the water and get you moving. Suddenly the speed changes – deep areas slow you down before drawing you onto the next stage with renewed energy.
Length: 113 metres
Speed: max. 20 km/h
from age 6
Children under the age of six must be accompanied by an adult
Burn
The black tube has really got the X factor. Fascinating lights flicker out of nowhere, rings of light mark the way and the water bubbles effectively. Thus enchanted a shock awaits you round the corner: daylight. Does the slide end this abruptly? No, it’s just a transparent part – sliding becomes flying!
Length: 144 metres
Speed: max. 21 km/h
from age 6
Children under the age of six must be accompanied by an adult
Rivellazione
Either alone or in pairs, on the Rivellazione, tyres are a must and provide real speed in the red tube. With good acceleration at the beginning the slide continues at a comfortable speed to the bottom – not so wild but wildly fun. The ideal slide for the whole family.
Length: 133 metres
Speed: max. 23 km/h
from age 6
Children under the age of six must be accompanied by an adult
Cliff Drop
Short and fierce. It requires just 16 metres to conquer the height difference of over 8 metres. You slide almost vertically. Like in free fall but without the painful landing. You are gently slowed down and deposited into the landing pool.
Length: 16 metres
Speed: max. 45 km/h
from age 10
Family Splash
The slide with a view. The open Family Splash slide gives you a free view without a roof over your head. Great for all ages: see and be seen. The orange Family Splash slide curves gently downwards and carries you carefully to the landing pool.
Length: 87 metres
Speed: max. 20 km/h
from age 6
Children under the age of six must be accompanied by an adult
Extreme
Not for the faint hearted! A steep angle downwards in total darkness. The adrenaline increases with the fantastic acceleration and makes it feel like you are in free fall. Then comes a curve into which you are pressed with incredible speed. The landing however is amazingly gentle and occurs as if by magic.
Length: 51 metres
Speed: max. 59 km/h
from age 12
