Nordic Walking in the Alps

Whether you're a family or a group of friends, we've designed a range of trails for all levels. Whether you're in the mood for a stroll or a challenge, you're sure to find the route that's right for you. Treat yourself to a pleasure or a challenge, as you wish.

Description

For each and every one of us, it will be a wonderful moment of sharing and a splendid stroll through the sumptuous scenery and landscapes around Bessans on the edge of the Vanoise National Park.
Nordic walking is a true wellness sport, but you can also enjoy the "parcours gourmand," a twilight trail to discover the local cuisine.
