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
Lacs Les Laussets, located in the Hautes-Alpes department in southern France, are a set of high-altitude lakes nestled in the picturesque French Alps. These lakes are found at approximately 1,800 meters (5,900 feet) above sea level and are part of the stunning natural landscape of the Écrins National Park. Due to their alpine location, the water in these lakes remains cool throughout the year, with temperatures ranging between 6°C to 12°C (43°F to 54°F) during the summer months. While the water temperature is refreshingly cool, it can be a bit too cold for comfortable swimming for many visitors.
Swimming in the Lacs Les Laussets is possible, but the chilly water may not appeal to everyone. The lakes are relatively remote and not heavily trafficked, so visitors can enjoy a peaceful and tranquil environment. However, the absence of designated swimming areas, and the rugged terrain around the lakes, means that swimmers need to be prepared for a more natural and rugged experience. For those seeking adventure and not deterred by colder water, these lakes offer an invigorating swim in an incredibly scenic setting. Additionally, the area is a great destination for hiking, offering panoramic views of the surrounding mountains and valleys.
