Okay, so a few days ago I posted about my 3 Cols hike, so, here is a another one of my multiday hikes in the Vanoise National Park. The hike goes around La Grande Casse , the highest summet in all of Savoie and one of the highest in France. I found the GPX on Pralognan-la-Vanoise's website and personally that's where I started from, it's a really nice, little alpine village, great starting spot, very motivating. The trail itself is really amazing, not that easy but 100% worth the effort, possibly the greatest views I've seen in my entire life (and i've been places).

It's a breathtaking 5 day hike:

Day 1 : Laisonnay-d’en-Bas parking lot (1560 m) – Refuge du col du Palet (2587 m) [~5h30]

Day 2 : Refuge du col du Palet (2587 m) – Refuge de la Leisse (2487 m) [~5h]

Day 3 : Refuge de la Leisse (2487 m) – Refuge des Barmettes (2012 m) [~4h30]

Day 4 : Refuge des Barmettes (2012 m) – Refuge du Grand Bec (2405 m) [~4h]

Day 5 : Refuge du Grand Bec (2405 m) – Parking du Laisonnay (1560 m) [~4h30]
