GR®55

Vanoise National Park

From Tignes to Modane (Savoie)

The GR®55 traverses the stunning Vanoise National Park, showcasing the alpine landscapes of Savoie. This 55 km, with a cumulative elevation gain of over 4,000 meters, connects Tignes to Modane, passing through exceptional natural sites and picturesque villages. The journey begins in Tignes, with the path gradually ascending towards Val Claret, a hamlet situated at an altitude of 2,100 meters. The trail continues to Lac Long, a picturesque alpine lake surrounded by majestic mountains, blooming alpine meadows, and streams. The path then heads towards Pralognan-la-Vanoise and Les Prioux, a tranquil hamlet nestled in the Vanoise valley. From Prioux, the trail leads to La Motte, Lac Blanc, Polset, and finally Modane in the Maurienne valley.
