Le Giffre is a dynamic Alpine river in Haute-Savoie that offers excellent opportunities for trout fishing, with healthy populations of brown and rainbow trout alongside grayling in its faster sections. This waterway is characterized by its clear, cold waters flowing through mountain terrain, providing both technical fly-fishing challenges and rewarding spinner work, particularly in the pools between rocky outcrops. A Carte de Pêche from the local AAPPMA is required to fish here, and the river's permissive regulations—including night fishing—make it an attractive destination for diverse angling styles and extended camping trips.
