Trekking: the balconies of Maurienne (Savoie)

Duration : 5 days

France, Northern Alps

Level : good hiker

from 700 € / p. from 4 to 12 persons

Description

I propose you a trekking route in the heart of the Vanoise National Park in Savoie. This 5-day hiking allows you to evolve almost permanently at more than 2000 meters of altitude, in a wonderful setting, that of the glaciers of the Vanoise.

Ibex, chamois, marmots at the turn of the trail, eagles, vultures in the air, are part of the many wildlife of this preserved area. Mountain lakes are also present all along the route.

This itinérary in the Maurienne valley gives a permanent view of the surrounding peaks, those of the Vanoise, of the Thabor massif and of the mountains neighboring Italy.

Some variations make it possible to escape sometimes from the main path for other discoveries.

If you like trekking for several days, I also propose other hiking itineraries in Savoie: the high route of Vanoise trekking, the tour of the Mont-Cenis lake in Maurienne, a trekking from Étendard to the Aiguilles d'Arves, and, a little further south, the magnificent tour of the Aiguilles de Chambeyron in Ubaye and a hiking weekend in Piedmont.
