Description

Vanoise National Park (French: Vanoise National Park) is one of the largest national parks in France and in Europe if one counts the connection with the Italian Gran Paradiso National Park. The Vanoise National Park is the first national park in France. It was created on July 6, 1963. On the border with Italy, the park borders the Gran Paradiso National Park. Both countries entered into a partnership in 1972 and both parks now cover an area of 1250 km².

The park is located in the French region of Auvergne-Rhône-Alpes, in the Savoie department. Places along the national park are Tignes, Val-d'Isère, Modane and Pralognan.

The national park was established primarily to protect the area against the ever-increasing influence of winter sports. The park contains a number of high mountains, including the Grande Casse. The Grande Casse is with 3855 m the highest mountain of the Vanoise. Many hikers make an alpine tour of several days in the area from Pralognan. There is plenty of room for that. The GR5 hiking route passes through the Vanoise National Park. The trip to the col de la Vanoise is popular with hikers.
