First day around Grande Casse Tour. We started the hike at "Plan fournier" in Vanoise, we then went up to "Refuge du Grand Bec" and then a cross along the glaciers to join "Refuge du col de la Vanoise". Easy trekking, just be careful if you get there soon in the season, you may find some snow on the track
