Vanoise pass and refuge hike

To fully appreciate this hike, you'll probably want to spend a night in one of our

a night in one of the refuges along the way. Adventure in the land

of high-altitude meadows and wide-open spaces. As you approach the Plan du Lac refuge, you enter the world of marmots, chamois and lammergeiers. In the distance, the road ahead still seems long, and the glaciers seem to approach as you walk. Framed by La Grande Casse and Pointe de la Réchasse, follow in the footsteps of seasoned mountaineers. The sometimes steep climbs contrast with the long, welcoming valley that awaits you. A string of lakes - and the passage of many hikers in summer - announce your proximity to the pass. Another world opens up on the outskirts of Lac Rond. For those accustomed to the area, the retreat of the glaciers is obvious.
