Vanoise National Park (French: Parc national de la Vanoise), is a French national park in the Alps, created in 1963 after mobilization from the environmentalist movement against a touristic project. It was the first French national park. This park is in the département of Savoie. Little villages like Champagny-le-Haut, Champagny-le-Bas, La Chiserette, La Cuaz, Le Bois, Friburge and Séez are near this park.
The park is bordered by several large french ski resorts (Les Trois Vallées, Tignes, Val-d'Isère, Les Arcs, La Plagne). On the Italian side of the border, the park is continued by the Gran Paradiso National Park. Together, these two parks cover over 1250 km².

The landscape is very desolate, but offers beautiful views of the snow covered peaks of the Parc National de la Vanoise in the distance and the Glacial peaks of the mountains on the border of...
Il rifugio Bezzi è il classico rifugio di fondo valle, meta di facile escursionismo famigliare. Tipo il Benevolo, il Bonatti, l'Elisabetta o l'Elena in Valle d'Aosta, per intenderci. Si sale in auto su per la Valgrisenche costeggiando il lago fino a raggiungere la frazione Usellieres. Qui si parcheggia ed in due ore di marcia si è a destinazione, percorrendo una strada sterrata che nell'ultima mezz'ora di percorso si trasforma in sentiero. Partiamo...
