GR®55 Vanoise National Park

From Tignes to Modane (Savoie)

The GR55, in the heart of the Haute-Tarentaise and Maurienne valleys, offers a spectacular immersion into France's first National Park, created in 1963 to save the ibex. This historic route crosses the legendary Col de la Vanoise, once used by porters carrying salt and cheese between the Tarentaise and Maurienne valleys. The landscape is dominated by glaciers and the majestic Grande Casse, the highest peak in the massif. Along the way, you'll traverse alpine pastures dotted with edelweiss and genepi, home to marmots and bearded vultures.
