Fishing

The lakes and rivers in Haute Maurienne Vannoise will allow you to catch the most beautiful fish of your vacations! Fishing cards are on sale in the Tourist Offices. The river Arc, which has shaped the whole Maurienne valley, is famous for its fario trout. No kill" (catch and release) courses are proposed on this river and on some of its tributaries. It is also possible to fish in lakes designed for this purpose in Modane, La Norma, Val Cenis and Bessans and in the large dam lakes. Take advantage of the high altitude lakes, some of which are stocked, for fishing in the high mountains. In Modane, the specialized store " Au fil de l'eau " welcomes you and also offers you all the equipment for your outings.

In winter, it is even possible to practice ice fishing in Val Cenis. As in the great North, you will have to dig a hole in a frozen lake before trying to catch your trout...
