The Chéran River in France, located in the region of Haute-Savoie, is renowned for its wild and often turbulent flow, particularly through the Bauges Mountains. As the river travels towards the Fier, its water temperature varies significantly depending on the season. In spring, following the snowmelt, the water tends to be colder, often below 10°C, making swimming less comfortable, especially for long periods. By summer, however, the temperatures generally rise, with the river reaching a more pleasant 18-22°C, which is more suitable for outdoor swimming and recreation​.

Swimming in the Chéran is popular, especially in the designated areas like the lakes near Lescheraines. The river’s natural beauty, combined with its relatively clean waters, makes it an attractive spot for visitors. The leisure center at Lescheraines, for instance, offers a supervised swimming beach and other water activities, making it an ideal place for families and adventurers alike. However, the river’s current can be quite strong, so it is important to be cautious, particularly in its wilder sections. For those who prefer a more relaxed swimming experience, the calmer pools in the lake areas of the river's lower reaches offer more suitable conditions​.
