The following rivers are well populated with brown trout and are all accessible by foot,
or public bus from our chalet in
Bourg st Maurice:
* Haute Isere in Bourg-St-Maurice

* Haute Isère in Centron
* Haute Isère in Savine
They are all at altitudes of 800m to 1750m
The temperature is between 8 to 12°
Maximum depth 5m, and width 35m
The bed of the rivers are made up of large boulders and gravel, and the water is over hung by leafy trees (Beeches, Birches, Alders and Ashes). There is good bio diversity including water insects (Transitory, Trichoptères, Dipterous) and terrestrial insects (coleopters, grasshoppers) and the water is crystal clear and well oxegenated.
We are also within a short drive or bus trip of fresh water lakes at Tignes, the Lac de la Sassière and Plan d'eau de Barouchat.

to keep your equipment secure.

*We can provide very early or packed breakfasts, packed lunches, and high energy evening meals.
