If the salmon do not hesitate to travel thousands of kilometers to return to lay their eggs in the Allier gorges, it is because this river is exceptional. And for many reasons...
The Allier, an inexhaustible playground for sports and nature lovers
Wild and tumultuous, it is ideal for those who love rafting and canoeing with the feeling of being in the middle of nowhere... But that's not all, there is no shortage of activities in the gorges!
Rafting, canyoning, kayaking, climbing, via-ferrata, mountain biking, orienteering, tubbing, pendulum jumping, archery, organization of adventure raids, seminars, funerals and many more! TONIC Aventure is there to organize the best stays in Auvergne for you! In the heart of the Gorges du Haut-Allier, a real adventure territory, all supervised by state-certified nature-loving instructors.
The Allier, one of the last salmon rivers in France
In the Allier, salmon is king! Although it is becoming increasingly rare... In order to preserve this species threatened with extinction, many actions are undertaken in the Gorges de l'Allier: such as at the National Conservatory of Wild Salmon in Chanteuges or at the Salmon House and the river at Brioude.
The mission of the conservatory is to repopulate the Allier and some rivers with this fish that has lived alongside man since prehistoric times. Educational and fun, the National Wild Salmon Conservatory of Chanteuges welcomes you in July and August to discover this fish which bears witness to the biodiversity of our rivers and contribute to its preservation.
