Before heading off, book your stay at <a href=\"https:\/\/www.camping-eden-savoie.com\/en\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">our campsite in Savoie<\/a>. It is just two minutes from the Vanoise National Park. Now for our top 10 hikes in the area.<\/p>\n<h2>Hike to the Bellecombe lakes<\/h2>\n<p>This <strong>easy circuit<\/strong> covers 10.25 km (4h15). The hike takes you past several must-see sites in the park, such as the Vanoise glaciers.<\/p>\n<h2>Hike near Lac du Sat and Lac de la Sassi\u00e8re<\/h2>\n<p>Another route accessible to all hikers. You will cover 6.9 km in 2 hours. Along the way, you will discover <strong>the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.camping-eden-savoie.com\/en\/travel-guide\/aiguille-de-la-grande-sassiere\/\">Grande Sassi\u00e8re<\/a> valley<\/strong>. It is one of the must-do circuits of the Vanoise massif.<\/p>\n<h2>Hike to Lac du G\u00e9n\u00e9py in the Vanoise National Park<\/h2>\n<p>This walk covers 15 km and takes 7 hours. <strong>The circuit starts in Aussois<\/strong> and heads towards the area&#8217;s lakes and dams.<\/p>\n<p><iframe title=\"YouTube video player\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/Nqik3KHuRtc\" width=\"100%\" height=\"315\" frameborder=\"0\" allowfullscreen=\"allowfullscreen\"><\/iframe><\/p>\n<h2>The Plan de Tueda nature reserve<\/h2>\n<p>This 2.1 km hike (about one hour) is easy and pleasant <strong>to share with the whole family<\/strong>. The nature reserve stretches from Lac de Tueda to the G\u00e9broulaz glacier.<\/p>\n<h2>Pas de la Tovi\u00e8re hike<\/h2>\n<p>The Pas de la Tovi\u00e8re hike is a bit tricky for beginners. This moderate route will suit you perfectly if you are in good physical shape. It covers 8.7 km and takes about 2h30.<\/p>\n<p>The starting point is <strong>the Tignes resort<\/strong>. The circuit passes through the hamlet of Tignes-Le-Lac. <strong>On a clear day, the view stretches as far as <a href=\"https:\/\/www.camping-eden-savoie.com\/en\/\">Mont Blanc<\/a><\/strong>.<\/p>\n<h2>Hike to the Rosuel waterfalls<\/h2>\n<p>Of moderate difficulty, this route is also accessible to people in reasonable shape. It covers 4.8 km and takes about 2 hours.<\/p>\n<p>The Rosuel waterfalls are certainly less well known than other natural sites in the park and the region, but they are no less appealing. <strong>It is a calm place with a soothing silence<\/strong>, easy to explore.<\/p>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter wp-image-8914 size-full\" src=\"https:\/\/www.camping-eden-savoie.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/03\/refuge-rossuel.jpg\" alt=\"Refuge de Rosuel\" width=\"600\" height=\"400\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.camping-eden-savoie.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/03\/refuge-rossuel.jpg 600w, https:\/\/www.camping-eden-savoie.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/03\/refuge-rossuel-300x200.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.camping-eden-savoie.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/03\/refuge-rossuel-100x67.jpg 100w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 600px) 100vw, 600px\" \/><\/p>\n<h2>Hike in the Bois de Laye<\/h2>\n<p>Here again, you can enjoy this circuit without much difficulty. The Bois de Laye route covers 7.2 km (2 hours). It is an excellent opportunity to discover the Vanoise massif and its surroundings, such as <strong>the Bois de Laye trail with its waterfalls and stream<\/strong>.<\/p>\n<h2>The Col de la Vanoise<\/h2>\n<p>With this route, things step up a gear (difficult). It covers 12.2 km and takes 4h30. The Col de la Vanoise lies at an altitude of 2,517 metres. <strong>It offers picture-postcard scenery<\/strong>. The starting point is the village of Les Fontanettes.<\/p>\n<h2>The Refuge de P\u00e9clet and Lac Blanc<\/h2>\n<p>Allow 6 hours to cover the 16.4 km of this difficult route. It immerses you in <strong>the high-mountain atmosphere of the Vanoise massif<\/strong>.<\/p>\n<h2>The Petit Mont Blanc<\/h2>\n<p>Here too, you will need excellent fitness to cover the 12.24 km of the Petit Mont Blanc (6h45). The hike takes you to the municipality of Pralognan-la-Vanoise and its magnificent natural landscapes. Fancy a less demanding but equally invigorating activity?
