Its crystal-clear waters, which flow through the Jura Mountains, maintain a favorable temperature range for fish like brown trout and grayling, typically between 10-16°C (50-60°F), especially during the summer months​.

Swimming in the Albarine is not widely mentioned as a common activity, with more emphasis on its role in fly fishing and the abundance of fish in its waters. The river, especially upstream near the Charabotte waterfalls, offers scenic views but is often considered more of a nature and fishing spot than a traditional swimming location​. If you are looking for a refreshing dip, the river's temperatures in certain areas may be too chilly for comfort, especially during the peak summer months.
