Wehr Amsteg

Achtung neues Wehr nach der ersten Autobahnbrücke in Amsteg. Bei 30m3 auf der linken Seite ein Stein rechte seite geht gut. Kann auf dem rechten Flussarm umfahren werden. Bei mehr Wasser anschauen, ob nicht zu starker Rücklauf. KCU

Befahren bei 26 und 16 m3/s. Frei Fahrt.
Macht auch bei 16 Kubik noch Spass.

Die Einfahrt zum Kieswerk hast sich stark verändert. Anstatt einfach breit in den See des Kieswerks zu fliessen hat es jetzt neu ein S nach dem ersten grossen Stein. Für versierte Paddler macht das hin und her viel Spass. Der eine oder andere wird aber sicher grosse Augen machen. Und der Gruppenführer vielleicht grad mal ein wenig Angst um seine Schützlinge bekommen. Gefährlich scheint aber nichts zu sein.

Etwa 200 Meter vor dem Schlitz kann man rechts ausbooten und den Schlitz umtragen.
Bei der Ausbootstelle mündet von links ein kleiner Bach durch das Ronggtobel in den Valserrhein.
Kehrwasser rechts nehmen: 46.653218,9.186321

We ran it on the 3/4/16 with 8m3/s in Chezery Forens. The visual scale was showing 75cm.
This level was good to discover this section. It looked more like a class IV than a class III!
No bothering trees, really nice section!

300m after "Pont du Rouffy" (Rouffy bridge), there is a small gorge. Run the entrance rapid of the gorge and stop on the left before the waterfall to scout (or carry) it. Then you have a 2nd (impressive) gorge which we carried easily on the left side. After this gorge there is a class IV rapid with a few trees but still ok to run.

We ran it on the 3/4/16 with 8m3/s in Chezery Forens. There were a few trees but it went fine. Many rocks, you have to "slalom" all the time. Very few eddies to stop (it is better to go with a small group of people). Be ready to stop regularly on this section in order to scout the rapids where you can find branches.

Very nice run that can be divided in two parts:

- Part 1: wild gorge with 2 difficult rapids (class IV, IV+ or X depending on the level). Those can be carried on the right side. Be careful with the banks on the second rapid, they can be very slippery!

- Part 2: class III rapids between Lezat and La Rixouse.

We did the full section on the 2/4/16 with a level of 4,2m3/s in Morez. It was a good level to discover the gorge. A bit low for the section between Lezat and La Rixouse.

Die Albtalstrasse ist wegen Steinschlag für längere Zeit gesperrt. Es ist noch nicht bekannt, wann das Fahrverbot aufgehoben wird. Dadurch wird die Bootsverschiebung auf der Strasse sehr mühsam.

Run on the 28/03/2016:

45cm on the Corrèze in St Yrieix la Perche
The level was low but still ok

Nice class III at the beginning. The gorge at the end is a class III-IV

Run on the 27/03/2016

Level: 1m50 on the visual scale (50m after the bridge on the right river side), 45cm in St Yrieix la Perche

Low level but still ok to play. We just carried the small dam at the end.

Run on the 06/03/2016 with a level of 7,7m3/s in St Médard en Forez. Good level. Many artificial drops. Just be careful with the drawback waters!

Run on the 28/02/2016:

a nice class III-IV with 6,21m3/s in St Sauves d'Auvergne. It took us 3h30 to complete the run. We carried a 1m50 drop where there was a tree.

Run on the 27/02/2016: Good level

3,21m3/s at Egliseneuve d'Entraigues
13,2m3/s in Condat

Very nice creeking area. You start with some class II in a wonderful lanscape. The end is made of 800m of class IV (V if the level is high).

20/02/2016: nice run with one 8m waterfall to be carried on the left side of the river (X with this level). The portage is quite difficult! Be prepared to hike a bit!

Level: 56cm in St Yrieix le Déjalat (Corrèze). 1,04m in Laguenne. We considered the level as middle-low but it was enough to enjoy the section.

20/02/2016: nice run with three class IV-IV+ areas. There was a tree at the end of the section.

Level: 56cm in St Yrieix le Déjalat (Corrèze). 1,04m in Laguenne. We considered the level as middle-low but it was enough to enjoy the section.

Be careful to scout the take out because of the "Cascades de Gimel"!
