Enjoy the unspoilt nature of the National Park without sacrificing comfort!

Between the high valleys of Maurienne and Tarentaise, the Vanoise massif is a condensed version of all the richness of the Alps: geological crossroads, protected climatic conditions and altitudes that range up to the 3855m of La Grande Casse allow for a magnificent diversity of landscapes, flowers and the remarkable presence of all the alpine fauna, on the limit of the "High Mountain".

This is our revisited Tour des Glaciers, with accommodation in rooms and new stages. A tour for a privileged immersion in this exceptional mountain!

1 night in refuge, in a 2-person bedroom.
Bed linen is provided in each accommodation. Please bring your own towel. All accommodation is equipped with hot showers. However, due to increasingly recurrent periods of drought, access to showers is not guaranteed.

The refuges that host us on the first and last days offer the comfort of very recent rooms/dormitories, for 2 to 4 people, which provide more privacy than in a large dormitory. Please note that the sanitary facilities are shared. One is a former mountain pasture chalet, the other is a mountain refuge, and they compensate for their rustic feel with unspoilt surroundings and a warm welcome!

Breakfast and dinner are provided in each accommodation. For lunch, your guide will prepare a picnic based on salads of regional products. Please inform us about your food allergies and special diets at the time of booking. We do our best to accommodate special diets (gluten-free, vegetarian, etc.).
