Vanoise — from the Maurienne valley to Plan du Lac
The climb from the Maurienne valley towards Plan du Lac opens up a succession of Alpine views. It gives a way into the park without trying to reduce the whole massif to a single route.

Aus der Quelle
Vanoise National Park includes high Alpine landscapes in Savoie. The park identifies Plan du Lac as a visitor site reached from Termignon and the Bellecombe area. The photograph shows the Maurienne valley around Termignon and Sollières-Sardières. The marker uses the IGN point for Plan du Lac refuge.
Redaktionelle Einordnung
The park describes Plan du Lac as a site with an approach from Bellecombe. Its information separates the road approach from the walk to the refuge. The photograph shows the broader valley below and mountains behind it. Read the valley view first, then look at the higher landscape from a designated path. The change from the settled valley floor to the open slopes is an important part of how this part of the Vanoise is experienced.
Empfehlung
