Vanoise High Route trekking (Savoie, Maurienne)

Description

I suggest you take advantage of late summer to explore the Vanoise National Park and the mountains of Savoie, decked out in their first autumn colors.

Altitude passes and peaks over 3,000 meters of altitude are on the program of this Vanoise high route trekking. During these 5 days in the Upper Maurienne you will approach the high summits and go from altitude meadows to a mineral universe.

The + of this trek:

• The discovery of the Vanoise National Park, a protected and preserved area.
• A network of quality trails and refuges.
• Magnificent landscapes, between valleys and high mountains.
• Accessible passes and summits of over 3000 meters in altitude.

If you like trekking for several days, I also propose other hiking itineraries in Savoie: the balconies of Maurienne, the tour of the Mont-Cenis lake between France and Italy, a trek facing the Aiguilles d'Arves, and, a little further south, the tour of the Aiguilles de Chambeyron in Ubaye and a 2-day hike in the Piedmont.
