Water Jump Ô Kiri Baudreix
1 / 6
Water Jump O Kiri - by Tony Fata on Google
Description
Water Jump Ô Kiri is located at the Baudreix lake and consists of several slides and ski jump-like structures that allow children and adults to take off several meters in the air. The jumps can be done with or without a board (board has less friction and is therefore faster & higher). The entrance fee for the water jump also includes access to a small sandy 'beach' area on the lakeshore. Other facilities at the lake include wakeboarding / water skiing, a beach and a restaurant.
Access & Transport
The lake is about 18km southeast of Pau, on the way to Nay. It is well signposted over the last few kms. There is free onsite parking (not very shaded).
Instructions & Recommendations
Customers should arrive 15mins before the start time for a short briefing and selecting a safety helmet. There are changing rooms just after the entrance gate. The 2h sessions start every 30mins with the first half hour supervised by a security staff that will provide the necessary explanations and advice.
Environmental & Social
Low environmental impact and infrastructure isn't too heavy. Provides economic activity to this rural area.
Conclusion
The Water Jump is probably not for everybody but there are enough slides/ramps with different heights and gradients to cater to most children and adults alike. Highly recommended for those looking for a water-based activity around Pau / the Western Pyrenees foothills. Price is very affordable by international standards but on the high side for the area.
