Fishing
Between raging torrents,
large lakes and the silence of the peaks
Here, the water runs, spreads and shimmers. In the Hautes-Alpes, fishing isn’t just a pastime: it’s a promise of fresh air, breathtaking scenery and raw sensations. Whether you come with a light rod, a wicker basket or simply a desire to learn, every river and lake offers a playground where nature sets the pace.
Fishing
at Serre-Ponçon
Faced with this giant of turquoise water, fishing takes on a whole new dimension. Pike, perch, carp or lavaret: here, the diversity is as astonishing as the grandeur of the landscape. From a boat at sunrise or from the wild banks, enjoy the privilege of a suspended moment. Serre-Ponçon is a life-size match, where every catch becomes a trophy, but where freedom remains the most important thing.
Fishing
in high-altitude lakes
Above 2,000 meters, when the trails disappear and the mountains take over, the high-altitude lakes offer themselves as discreet jewels. In these icy waters, trout have to be earned: they require walking, effort and shortness of breath. But what a reward! A cast, the reflection of the peaks in the water, and suddenly the sensation of being alone in the world, in a simple and powerful communion with the mountain.
River fishing
Torrents tumble down glaciers and passes, leaping from stone to stone. Here, grayling, brown trout and rainbow trout hide in veins of white water.
