Father & Son: sport fishing on the waters of Serre-Ponçon

In the heart of the Alpes de Haute Provence, between the powerful waters of Lake Serre-Ponçon and the high-altitude lakes of Dormillouse, share a week of sport fishing, combining action and thrills. A father and son stay to experience the rhythm of bites, hunt for predators, and explore exceptional aquatic territories. Here, fishing is sporty, mobile, and passionate.
Serre-Ponçon, one of Europe's largest reservoirs, fed by the Durance and Ubaye rivers, unfolds its 2 hectares of shimmering waters. A refuge for pike and trout, it is also home to perch, carp, roach, and bleak. A rich playground where every catch becomes a fishing challenge.
