River or lake fishing
Bucolic river…
The edges of the shore, which crosses Bourg-d'Oisans, invites you to relax and take a stroll to try your hand at fishing. Calm, shaded and bucolic, this small river invites you to a modern version of fishing: the pleasure of fishing comes from the pleasure of releasing your catch in good condition. Be sure to respect the reserve area so that the fish also have their moments of calm
…or emblematic
As for Romansh, the main river of Oisans, it is very populated with large salmonids. The practice, a little more sporty, allows you to handle lures in waters that never cease to amaze as the corners are so different along the Romanche. The sandbanks or rocks are known to local fishermen. If you settle on the banks of the Romanche, be careful, the water can rise quickly (dams upstream).
Lakes with pure water
With Lauvitel lake for example, fishing at altitude is a bit of a challenge with the 600 m difference in altitude to get there. Fishing in this sumptuous setting is a real pleasure!

And if you are looking for a lake full of fish, you will not be short of choice.
