Trekking in the Vanoise

Trekking in the Vanoise is a guide to the 150km hut-to-hut trek in the Vanoise National Park between Mont Blanc and the Écrins in France. The route is described in 11 stages from Modane, plus Tour des Glaciers de la Vanoise, along with suggestions for other short treks

Describing the trek in a counter-clockwise direction, beginning and ending at Modane in the valley of the Arc, this guidebook contains all the information trekkers will need on a day-by-day basis.

As the route takes between 10 and 12 days to walk, it fits comfortably within a fortnight’s holiday, and numerous strategically placed huts enable trekkers to travel light and stay in simple comfort at the end of each stage.

Easily accessible by train or bus from Chambery and Grenoble, the Vanoise National Park neighbours that of the Gran Paradiso in Italy, with Mont Blanc to the north and the Ecrins to the south.
