Parc national de La Vanoise
The Vanoise massif is located in the Alps, between the Maurienne and Tarentaise valleys, in Savoie. This mountainous region is unique for its spectacular scenery: 107 peaks exceeding elevations of 3,000 metres, vast mountain pastures, glaciers and deep valleys.
❤️👍 Protective by nature
Created in 1963 for the protection of endangered species, the Parc National de la Vanoise covers 53,000 hectares of unspoilt nature. It shares 14 km of border with the Gran Paradiso park on the Italian side, and is home to 1,200 protected species.
The park boasts around forty mountain refuges and 500 km of waymarked trails which can be explored on foot. To see this wealth of biodiversity in images, view the video entitled 'Debout les marmottes', produced by the Parc de la Vanoise.
