Water Temperature in Lac de Gers: General Trends and Swimming Opportunities

Lac de Gers, located in the Haute-Savoie region of the French Alps near Sixt-Fer-à-Cheval, is a remote and beautiful alpine lake surrounded by rugged mountains and lush vegetation. Its elevation at around 1,540 meters (5,052 feet) makes it a cooler lake, with summer water temperatures typically ranging from 10°C to 16°C (50°F to 61°F). Due to these low temperatures, swimming is often refreshing yet chilly, appealing mostly to those accustomed to cold-water swimming or seeking a quick, invigorating dip.

The lake is accessible by a scenic hiking trail, adding to its appeal for nature enthusiasts. The isolated setting means there are no formal facilities or lifeguard services, so swimmers should exercise caution. The lake’s pristine, clear waters make it an attractive location for a refreshing swim, particularly in the peak summer months of July and August, when water temperatures are at their warmest. However, because of its cooler alpine temperatures and limited access, Lac de Gers is primarily a destination for short, invigorating swims rather than extended swimming sessions.
