Fishing in Dora Riparia & Mountain Lakes

Bardonecchia offers excellent opportunities for fishing enthusiasts in the clear waters of the Dora Riparia river and several pristine mountain lakes, such as Lago della Rognosa. Anglers can target various species, including trout (brown, rainbow, and marble trout). A valid fishing license (licenza di pesca) and specific local permits are required, which can usually be obtained at local sports shops or fishing associations. Catch-and-release policies are often encouraged in certain areas. This activity provides a peaceful way to enjoy the alpine environment. Best seasons are spring to early autumn, with specific regulations for each body of water. Daily permits typically cost €10-€20.
