Grande Casse Tour_2°day #puremountain Map

Second day of the Grande Casse tour. We start the day at "Refuge du col de la Vanoise" and we want down to "Vallon de la leisse" by a beautiful track between some small mountain lakes under the south face of La Grande Casse. Then we hike to "col de la leisse", went down to "Tignes" resort and finally went up to "Col du Palet" hut! A beautiful and easy hike in the heart of Vanoise massif.
