The Vanoise mountain range located in the Western Alps is the third-highest massif in France, reaching a height of 3,885 m at the summit of Grande Casse. The Vanoise massif is located in Savoie, between the le col of “La Croix du Bonhomme” and Modane, in the heart of La Maurienne and the entire region is a source of wonder to all who visit.
Starting and finishing in Pralognan in the Vanoise Alps, this 80 kilometre (49 mile) tour with 5,500 meters (18,000ft) of accumulative height gain is a real challenge, the terrain is not for the faint hearted, steep arêtes and exposed traverses makes the Tour of the Vanoise a real adventure.
