*** Forecast - Our water temperature forecast
Actual nearshore water temperatures may fluctuate by several degrees from the reported values, especially following heavy rainfall or extended periods of strong winds. Certain wind patterns can cause colder, deeper waters to rise and replace the sun-warmed surface water, leading to noticeable variations.
Our forecast is based on a proprietary mathematical model that considers real-time water temperature changes, historical trends, key weather patterns, wind strength and direction, and air temperature specific to each region. Additionally, we incorporate data from other resorts to enhance accuracy.

Location & Local Information
Basin countries: Switzerland
Surface area: 69 ha (170 acres)
Surface elevation: 2,205 m (7,234 ft)
Frozen: winter
Daubensee is a high-altitude lake near the Gemmi Pass, surrounded by open alpine terrain. Its elevation of about 2,200 m strongly influences water temperature. In winter, the lake is usually frozen, with water temperatures close to 0 °C (32 °F). After ice melt in late spring or early summer, temperatures typically remain around 4–7 °C (39–45 °F). During the short summer season, mainly in July and August, the surface may briefly warm to about 10–14 °C (50–57 °F) on sunny, calm days. In early autumn, temperatures drop quickly again below 8 °C (46 °F).
Swimming is not officially prohibited, but it is uncommon and generally not recommended. Daubensee is cold, exposed to wind, and lacks designated bathing infrastructure. Sudden weather changes and low water temperatures increase the risk of cold shock. While experienced cold-water swimmers may attempt a short dip during peak summer, most visitors experience the lake as a scenic hiking destination rather than a place for recreational swimming.
