Weather-model estimates at the stated altitude of each point, not measurements. Source: Open-Meteo, updated every hour.

Compare panoramas of the Lac du Bourget from Ontex, Chambotte and Grand Port, and check the measured lake level. The water temperature is not measured by any open source: the page says so rather than estimating it.

In short. This page shows views of the Lac du Bourget, the level measured at Aix-les-Bains (a Compagnie nationale du Rhône station, with its time) and the air weather. The water temperature is not shown: no open, dated and reusable measurement is available, and the air temperature cannot stand in for it.

Understanding the conditions

What is the water temperature?

No open, dated and reusable measurement of the Lac du Bourget water temperature is connected to this page. The lake’s managers publish its scientific monitoring as reports, and local probes exist without permission for reuse. To compare measurements, check where they were taken, their date and their depth; the air temperature cannot be used instead.

The lake level

The Compagnie nationale du Rhône (CNR) station at Aix-les-Bains measures the height of the lake on a gauge. The data shown are raw and unvalidated, and the level in metres NGF (the French national levelling datum) is derived from the gauge zero published by the source.

Choosing a view of the lake

Ontex and Chambotte offer panoramas from the heights. Grand Port gives another angle on the lake. Compare the views to check visibility, without inferring water quality or swimming conditions from them.

What is the water temperature of the Lac du Bourget?

It is not shown: no open, dated and reusable measurement is connected to this page. Rather than estimate it or use the air temperature, the page says so.

Does the air temperature tell me the lake temperature?

No. The water temperature must come from a dedicated measurement; the air temperature cannot replace it.

Can the webcams tell me whether swimming is allowed?

No. Check local information on the beach, lifeguard cover and any restrictions.

Where are the views on this page?

The three views are from Ontex, Chambotte and Grand Port, provided by the Grand Lac / Skaping network.

Sources and method

Text of this page last revised on . This date says nothing about how recent the images or data are: the webcams are supplied by the credited operators and their timestamp shows when the image was taken; model forecasts and official reports are separate pieces of information, each with its own time. The forecast applies to the point and altitude shown in the weather block.
