Vanoise National Park
Vanoise National Park is in the Alps in the south-east of France, near the Italian border.
This park is in the département of Savoie, in the Rhone-Alps region, with Modane to the south and Val d'Isère to the north-east. It has more than 360,000 visitors each year.
Vanoise National Parc is essentially hikers territory, and there are several long, sometimes difficult but always impressive, hikes and Grand Randonnées that pass through and around the region. The scenery is sometimes quite harsh and bleak, and always dramatic.
The villages in the region are, for the large part, not very thrilling, albeit often in splendid settings. They do provide an interesting glimpse of the harshness of mountain life - remember, many of the tracks now covered by well-equipped hikers were originally tracks used by the villagers to pass from one region to the next.
If you are more of a car explorer, you will doubtless want to ascend the Col de l'Iseran, south of Val d'Isère - this is the highest Alpine pass and will provide at least a glimpse of the hard landscape in the parc. The pass is usually open July to September, but often closed by snow at other times.
Val d'Isère and Tignes, to the north-east of the parc, are now of course well known winter sport centres, although their summer-time appeal is not great.
