It's ok from June to September, than it becomes quite cold. The spot is near the mountains and near to Silvaplana spot (South of Swiss). So it's recommended a warm wetsuit during coldest time. April to May: air 15-25°C, water 9-17°C, semidry wetsuit necessary. June to August: shorty time with air temperatures from 22-35°C, water 19-23°C.
