We publish a data set of environmental and biological data collected in 2000 during the ice-free periodin high mountain lakes mainly located above the local timberline in the Alps, in Italy, Switzerlandand Austria. Environmental data include coordinates, geographical attributes and detailed informationon vegetation, bedrock and land use in lake catchments. Chemical analyses of a sample for each lakecollected at the lake surface in summer 2000 are also reported. Biological data include phytoplankton,zooplankton, macroinvertebrates, benthic diatoms. Diatoms, cladoceran and chironomids remainsand algal and bacterial pigments were also analysed in lake sediments.
