Cold water is a real factor in an alpine lake regardless of the season, so bring a drysuit or a thick wetsuit and do not underestimate how quickly the cold can shorten your bottom time. Keep a close eye on your depth gauge, as the bottom drops well beyond the Open Water limit and nitrogen narcosis becomes a risk below 30 metres.
