Day3 of a two-circular route in the Vanoise National Park, from the Refuge de la Femma to the Refuge de la Leisse.
There’s nothing particularly complicated about this hike, where we’ll descend the Femma valley before climbing back up alongside the Leisse valley, which I’m particularly fond of.

Departure from Bessans (Savoie)
A very scenic route allowing you to descend from the Refuge d’Avérole whilst avoiding the track, offering a superb view of the Pointe du Charbonnel and its glacier. This route isn’t long but it does require sure-footedness.

Difficult
Departure from Bonneval-sur-Arc (Savoie)
This 6-day hike from mountain hut to mountain hut will take you from Bonneval-sur-Arc back to Modane.
There are no particular technical difficulties; the walk follows good paths, partly along theGRP® Tour de Haute-Maurienne route and partly along theGR®55.
The scenery is magnificent and, if you’re lucky, you might spot bearded vultures, which are beginning to re-establish themselves in the area.

Difficult
Departure from Bonneval-sur-Arc (Savoie)
This first stage, starting from one of the most beautiful villages in France, is a gentle warm-up that culminates (for the more adventurous) at the Col du Carro (3,149 m), the border between France and Italy and a magnificent viewpoint in fine weather, offering views of the surrounding peaks and glaciers.
From the Fond des Fours Refuge to the Col de la Vanoise Refuge

Difficult
Departure from Val-d'Isère (Savoie)
A long stage for this third day with very varied landscapes and terrain.It’s a shame that the road section after the Refuge de la Femma can’t be avoided, as it’s rather uninteresting. You’ll have to wait until the Refuge d’Entre Deux Eaux to finally get back on a trail.The difficulty is mainly due to the distance, as the elevation gains aren’t too steep and the trails are in good condition.
Fond des Fours – La Leisse

-3,215 ft
7h 30
Difficult
Departure from Val-d'Isère (Savoie)
A little-used path leading to the Col de la Rocheure (2,911 m) runs alongside a myriad of small high-altitude lakes, before descending to the Refuge de la Femma. The ascent to the Col de Pierre-Blanche (2,842 m) is steady and not very well marked, even veering off the beaten track. The view is magnificent over the rocky Leisse valley, nestled between the giant peaks of the Grande Motte and the Grande Casse. Descend through these deserted landscapes towards the eagle’s nest that is the Refuge de la Leisse (2,487 m).
