The Vanoise sits in the Savoie between the Isere and Arc valleys, quieter than the Mont Blanc massif but no less serious. The Tour des Glaciers circles the largest glacial plateau in western Europe, under the Grande Casse, the Aiguille de la Vanoise and the Dent Parrachee. Pralognan-la-Vanoise makes an unspoilt base. Ibex, chamois, bearded vultures and golden eagles all breed here, and many peaks pass 3,400m.
