GR®55 Vanoise National Park
From Tignes to Modane (Savoie)
The GR®55, 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 Vanoise at 3,855 metres. The fauna is emblematic: ibex, chamois and marmots are frequently encountered, while the bearded vulture has been successfully reintroduced. The flora is equally remarkable, with vast meadows of wildflowers in summer.
