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
Lac des Évettes is a serene alpine lake located in the French Alps, near the Col des Évettes in the Haute-Savoie region. Set at an altitude of around 1,800 meters, this small lake is surrounded by beautiful mountain landscapes, making it a popular destination for hikers and nature enthusiasts. Due to its high elevation, the water in Lac des Évettes remains quite cold throughout the year, often staying below 12°C (54°F) even in summer. These temperatures are generally not suitable for extended swimming, as the water remains chilly and can be uncomfortable for prolonged immersion.
While Lac des Évettes is appreciated for its scenic beauty and clear waters, swimming is not a primary activity here due to the low water temperatures and lack of designated swimming facilities. Visitors often come to enjoy the peaceful atmosphere and take in the views of surrounding peaks and alpine meadows. For those looking to enjoy the water, brief dips to cool off may be manageable on warmer days, but it’s generally recommended to bring warmer layers if you plan on spending time near the lake.
