The Vanoise: This is one of the best areas in France for ski touring. It has everything including glacial and non-glacial routes, reliable snow, friendly refuges and good access. Here's a great circuit to consider:
Starting in Val d'Isere we take the lifts up to 3200m before skiing down to Pont de la Neige. From there it's skins on and then up 450m to the Col des Fours. After that we enjoy a nice ski down to the Refuge Fond des Fours. The next day we head South and then up to the Col du Pisset at 3000m. We then have the option to either ski down to the Refuge de la Femma, or to make a detour and climb (on ski, but sometimes on foot too) the Point de la Mean Martin 3330m before heading down to the Refuge. We will spend two nights at the Refuge de l;a Femma as there are plenty of day tours to do from there. These tours are on all aspects, so we can almost always find great snow. The final day sees us climbing from the Refuge at 2350m to the Col des Barmes de l'Ours at 3077m. People still feeling strong can carry on to the summit of the Point de la Sanna (3446m) but there's no obligation to do so. From the col it's a fantastic long descent all the way to Val d'Isere where the group can stop for a cold drink while I take the bus to collect the car.
