Where to fish in Haute Maurienne?

The Arc river, which has shaped the entire Maurienne valley, is famous for its fario trout. No-kill" (catch-and-release) runs are available on this river and on some of its tributaries. You can also fish in special lakes at Modane, La Norma, Val Cenis and Bessans, and in the large dam lakes. You can also take advantage of the high altitude lakes, some of which are stocked with fish, for fishing in the high mountains.

Need equipment or advice? In Modane, the specialist store " Au fil de l'eau " welcomes you and offers you all the equipment you need for your outings.

Please note: fishing cards for Haute Maurienne Vanoise are on sale at Tourist Offices.

Unusual: in winter, you can even go ice fishing in Val Cenis. Just like in the Far North, you'll have to dig a hole in a frozen lake before trying to catch your trout...
