Dranse de Morzine — Morzine → Saint-Jean-d'Aulps
Dranse de Morzine · Haute-Savoie (74), Alpes du Nord
Grade
III
Type
gorge
About
Classe II-III (3+). Pleasant alpine torrent run down the Vallée d'Aulps below Morzine, mostly read-and-run class II with three harder class 3/3+ rapids. The D902 road runs just above the river, making reconnaissance easy despite the enclosed feel of the valley. Watch for wood after floods, typical of all the Dranses. A good warm-up before the harder gorge sections downstream. Season: Spring snowmelt (May-June) and heavy autumn rains; flow data from the Bioge power plant is available online Gauge reference: Flow released/measured at the Bioge hydroelectric plant (online); eauxvives.org conditions page for the Dranses
