The hike begins in Tignes, heading toward the Haute-Isère Valley and the Prariond area. The route gradually takes us into an increasingly wild environment, amid alpine pastures, mountain streams, and majestic peaks.

As we hike, we’ll discover the characteristic landscapes of the Vanoise, and we may even be lucky enough to spot some alpine wildlife. The ascent continues to the Prariond Refuge, situated in an exceptional setting at the foot of glaciers and towering peaks.

After arriving at the refuge, we’ll settle in and take some time to rest. The evening is a chance to fully enjoy the refuge’s warm atmosphere and the tranquility of the mountains.

After breakfast, we resume our hike for a second day through the wild landscapes of the Vanoise.

The route offers a chance to discover another side of the Prariond area, featuring high-altitude valleys, glacial landscapes, and panoramic views of the surrounding peaks. The hike gradually descends toward the valley before reaching the Tignes area, the end point of this trek.
