This Highlight is in a protected area
Please check local regulations for: Parc national de la Vanoise (cœur)
Location: Pralognan-La-Vanoise, Albertville, Auvergne Rhône Alpes, France
The path through the valley of the Arcelin stream is an alternative to the GR 55 and allows a circuit around the Aiguilles de la Vanoise, recommended for the descent. Good surefootedness is recommended because of some rock bands, sometimes you need your hands. In the lower part, it is advisable to dodge the Col du Moriond in the afternoon because the creek can swell considerably with meltwater and short passages close to the creek can be tricky. In midsummer, however, the creek can also run dry. So: Open your eyes and decide for yourself.

Attention Patou on sentry duty today 19/08 in the ravine. We had to hide while they left the area. They didn't seem aggressive but seemed to be looking for us before moving away
