Ran with 165cm
Be careful, at the middle there is an unrunnable gorge. When you enter there is a rope on the left in order to show you the way to get out. You can put in after the gorge. You can’t see it from the road.

Iselkataract done with 290cm. The biggest rapid is at the beginning. You can scout it and set a safety or carry it easily on the left (if the small creek is not too high). After that everything is visible from the boat. For me there is no maximum on this section like on the section of the prekatarakt

Prekaterakt done at 290 cm. I do not think there is a class IV on this section.

Wasserfallstrecke ran on the 16/07/16 with 75cm.

Two beautifull class V rapids in the middle.
At the end there is a big gorge with a must run. You can hardly scout it from the right side. It is made of an undercut followed by a hole. It is not sticky. The hole before the turn is more dangerous. Just make sure there are no trees after the turn.

The tunnelstrecke is a very strong alpin style river. There are some trees and it is a kind of rocky and tricky. You can scout the biggest rapid from the bridge between both tunnels.

The lower part is also very rocky and tricky, there is a dam at the beginning. On those two parts the risk of getting pinned is quite high.

The road for the first part is only accessible if you pay a toll. It’s 10€.

We ran it on the 15/07/16 with 58 cm.
As mentioned in the guide, I think there is no maximum waterlevel for this part. You should scout at least the rapid just below the first bridge before the put in. The complete section is visible from the road, it is easier to scout before to put in and it allows you to paddle without stopping. This section is very fast, maybe 20minutes if you run it without stopping.
Perfect second run after the Reinbachfalls

It is a sequence of three drops. The first is 1.5 m high, the second 8m and the third about 3.50m.
To go there, drive up the valley above Winkel. Park your car in the car park just below the bridge where the road changes side. Then walk 200m down and you arrived.
We had a medium high water level. The upper limit is given by the third drop. If the water level is too high the take off and the reception will become too boily.
The water levels within the area were: 58 cm on the Ahr et 75cm on the Defereggenbach, 114 on the Isel. It can give an idea.
The water level can change quickly there because of the dam. We had an approximately 10 cm increase of the waterlevel within 15 minutes and it went down again immediately after that.

We heard from a local that it is possible to link the part Morgex -le champs- with the Avise gorge. There is just a portage of 200m. After the railway bridge you have to stop on the right side. But if you plan to do this, please check that it is feasible with a rafting company.

In La Salle there is a dam. You can portage it on both sides.

We ran it on the 14/7/16 with 50cm at the Pré-Saint-Didier gauge. You can paddle everything from your boat.

Run on the 14/7/16 with 50cm at Pré-Saint-Didier gauge.

It is the end of the artificial part. But it is still quite steep.

We ran it on the 14/7/16 with 50cm at the Pré-Saint-Didier gauge. See comments below.

For the put in after Champex, follow the road on the right side and on the big turn go straight, the road changes side and you can put in wherever you want. The advantage is that you can also scout the river.

Just under the bridge of the put in there is a car or something like this under the water.
After the put in at the end of the first rapid there is a big siphonny boulder take care.
After that, there are many artificial steps, be careful, sometimes it is difficult to take out just before. Also there are some iron bars in the river.

We ran it with 44cm on the 13/07/16
There are many iron bars which you can see in the river. I don’t think it’s the perfect river for hydrospeed.
There is a tree which blocks the first rapid but you can avoid it on the right.
If you are curious, you can run the tunnel at the beginning of the section, just make sure that there are no trees inside before.
At this water level the Urthier gorge seemed ok but we didn’t have the time to run it.

Scopetta-Balmuccia done at 60 cm on the 12/7/16.
Beautiful gorge, the rocks look like this on the Tessin. We portage the unrunnable rapid on the right side and put in (vertical slide entrance) just after it.

We ran it on the 12/07/16 with 60 cm. It’s interesting to take out at Campertogno.
Be careful when you scout the first rapid, scouting it from the bridge makes the rapids less impressive than in reality. And particularly for the last hole which is very boily and sticky.
At the exit of the gorge there are two recirculating stoppers. If there is a high water level it could be very difficult to secure the first one.

We ran it with 280cm on the 11/07/16
I don’t think there is a maximum level for this section, the higher the water level is, the bigger the waves, the smaller the eddies and the more fun you could have. Be careful, in the middle there is a deadly dam indicated by a sign. You can portage it on the right side, there is a big eddy before.
After the dam, the Oetz splits into two arms, we took the small arm on the right.
You can take out on the left or on the right side.

We did both parts at about 6,5 cubics on the 11/07/16. I think that it is not really interesting to paddle only one section. There is still a sign which says that it is forbidden to paddle from the 15th of August to March.
There are some trees on the first section, but you can portage everything. Be careful, with more water the must run at the end can be very dangerous, particularly for the first person because you can’t set a safety for her.
You have to take out on the left side before the bridge. There is a small track (quite steep) but it is easier than getting out under the bridge.

Die Schieferverwerfung im unteren Teil (siehe Eintrag weiter unten) ist nicht verschwunden, sondern hat sich nur ziemlich verändert. Die Befahrung ist nicht einfacher geworden als früher. Sollte auf jeden Fall angeschaut werden. Bei dem angetroffenen Pegel (Referenz Simme Mittelwasser, Saane Einstieg ca. 12 Kubik) bildet sich auf der linken Seite unterhalb der Stufe eine kräftige (zumindest die erste) Doppelwalze. Bei diesem Pegel ist eine Befahrung wohl eher Mitte rechts zu empfehlen.
