What is Doussard Watersports Centre
The Doussard Watersports Centre occupies the southern port of Lake Annecy, on the Doussard / Bout-du-Lac shore. Several private operators share the infrastructure: Skiwake74 for wakeboard and water-skiing, sailing schools and paddle rentals. The southern shore is directly linked to the lakeside Voie verte cycle path, making the site a practical starting point for water sports.
The centre covers all main disciplines: sailing (Optimist, dinghy), towed wakeboard, water-skiing, stand-up paddle (SUP) and kayak. The flat water of the early morning makes the spot particularly suited to technical disciplines and beginner courses, while the southern end of the lake gives easy onshore access via the Voie verte.
2026 prices: adult €30–80 depending on activity, child courses for ages 6–15. Season: May to September. Hours: rentals and lessons 9am–7pm in summer season. Partially accessible for reduced-mobility visitors.
