Vanoise tour trekking (Savoie)

Description

I propose a 6-day adventure in the heart of the Vanoise National Park.

This trek in the heart of the Savoie mountains will give you the opportunity to get away from your busy routine and let yourself be carried away by the rhythm of nature and its moods...

Trust your legs, which will grow stronger with each stage and allow you to admire the heights of the Vanoise, its wild fauna, its grandiose glaciers and its high-altitude flora with a thousand virtues...

This tour of the Vanoise is accessible to anyone in good physical shape and with previous mountain hiking experience. Participants must be regular hikers (or practicing another endurance sport).

If you have other summer adventures in mind, you can follow me on a beautiful tour of the Lauzière massif, a hiking and yoga roaming in Savoie or a hiking and yoga stay in the Belledonne massif.
