D'une durée de 5 étapes, il est recommandé d'être suffisamment en condition physique et surtout d'être bien équipé notamment en matériel contre la pluie. Le temps ici, même en été, change vite et la pluie peut vous surprendre et durer toute la journée.
Tour des glaciers de Vanoise
Ce tour en abrégé TGV se fait au rythme lent du randonneur et non à grande vitesse. Il offre des vues époustouflantes sur les glaciers mais aussi sur les grandes montagnes du coin la Grande Casse et la Dent Parrachée les plus connues.

A beautiful, accessible rocky summit offering spectacular views from the top: Mont Blanc, the Écrins, Gran Paradiso, etc.
The path is excellent and allows you to cover the elevation gain efficiently. From the Col de la Masse to the summit, the route is a little more technical, passing through a sort of large scree slope.

Departure from Aussois (Savoie)
High-altitude hike beneath the imposing Dent Parrachée. The climb to 3,100 m is very pleasant, and there are several flat sections where you can rest. Things get tougher beyond that, after crossing the remains of the Labby Glacier, due to loose and unstable schist. Access to Pointe de la Gorma (3,396 m) is via an easy ridge.

From the new car park at the Aussois dams, there is a fairly easy route around Lake Plan-d'Amont, which allows you to discover the four refuges in the southern part of the Vanoise National Park. You enter the heart of the park. In summer, there are many marmots and they are not shy. The landscapes are magnificent and varied, from the rhododendron bushes on the lake shore to the Labby glacier and the mineral deserts of La Fournache.
