- We visited the South of France (near Pralognan-La-Vanoise, Savoie, France) in 2021 to hike in the French Alps on the Col de la Vanoise trail. The trail is located in the Parc national de la Vanoise, about 2.5 hours east of Lyon, France. The hike was a 7.6-mile loop near the border of France and Switzerland. We stayed in Albertville, France before making our way to the trailhead, which passes through the town of Bozel, France. The area is known for its alpine ski slopes and hiking trails, and is a cannot miss. The trail includes two refuges, Refuge des Barmettes and Refuge du Col de la Vanoise which both serve coffee and meals. The loop circles around the peaks of Le Morlond and Aiguille de la Vanoise. We completed the Col de la Vanoise clockwise. We stopped filming with about 1.5 miles left during our descent due to rock scrambling and looming altitude sickness.

Great video! Love the quality!
Simply brilliant! Great shots! 👍👍👍 Greetings from Germany
This hike shows how France is conflicted and cannot push back the ski resorts. It's one of the most beautiful hikes in Vanoise, but it follows an insanely ugly chairlift at the beginning. A common sight in Switzerland or Italy, but usually France avoids this, like in Ecrins, Mercantour, Vercors etc... In Vanoise, there's too many ski resorts right next to the park. In fact, the park had to be built around the ski resorts, the government couldn't afford to tell the resorts that they were gonna take back land from them. This hike is insanely beautiful in october/november, with the first snows. When the trail is free of snow until about Lac des Vaches, and then full of snow from there, it's heaven.
The hike also show how cow grazing prevents trees from growing. Sure it makes for nice flower meadows, but that area feels a bit barren. If it were an American national park for example, you would have trees right up until Col de La Vanoise.
PS : flying a drone is strictly illegal here.
Fantastic Scenery!
Nice video
Thank you!
I did the same hike two weeks ago !
I made a video too about it, but yours is really cool :) !
If I may I'll correct a slight mistake. The Parc de la Vanoise is near the border with Italy. Switzerland is further north, towards Chamonix (where France, Switzerland and Italy meet).
Awesome! Keep up the great work
Thank you! ❤️❤️
