Trek Nature | Stage C Prariond Refuge - Refuge Du Fours

The Gran Paradiso Vanoise Nature Trek is a hiking trail that connects 5 municipalities and 2 national parks between Italy and France: Isère Valley and Bonneval sur Arc in France, located in the Vanoise National Park; Rhême-Notre-Dame, Valsavarenche and Ceresole Reale, in Italy, located in the Gran Paradiso National Park. This splendid 116 km circuit, which takes an average of 5-6 days to complete, is an opportunity to make tracks in the beauty of the mountains of these two national parks. You can depart from any of the municipalities spanned by this itinerary, as they all border and are located within the two protected areas. This aim of the itinerary is to promote the heritage and resources of these protected areas rich in vegetation and populated by the typical fauna of an alpine habitat. Haute Tarentaise, Haute Maurienne and Aosta Valley are full of moderate yet powerful peaks, for which times stands still and beauty knows no bounds. Those seeking velvety green pastures, and immense peaks will be in for a treat in the Vanoise National Park. Here, the gentle trails go easy on hikers and offer mountain lovers a sense of happiness and serenity. Venture beyond the passes to cast your gaze as far as the eye can see in these endless Italian valleys, full of trails and refuges, in the Gran Paradiso National Park. There are two variants (one crosses the glacier and the other doesn’t), offering something for everyone. For further information on the route, connect to the site: trek-nature.com/en/the-trek
