Meeting the great fauna of the Vanoise

Departing from the Pont Baudin (Peisey-Nancroix Nordic Center), we gradually make our way up the Rosuel valley, off the beaten track, towards the montagnettes de la Gurraz, to gain a better understanding of the valley's glacial history and the conquest of the living world that has taken place since the glaciers began to retreat 20,000 years ago.
The vast snowfields punctuated by a few melezins that we cross against a backdrop of icefalls and the Platières glacier front give this valley a Far North atmosphere.

In the mountains, there's no such thing as chance. Whether animal or plant, every living creature has developed adaptations to survive the rigors of winter in the mountains. Up close, we'll follow the trails used by foxes and hares; from a distance, so as not to disturb them, we'll observe the patient work of ibex and chamois as they feed.
And man, in this landscape? Man has also managed to adapt to the slope and the marked seasons. We'll explore how he has adapted his rhythm and activities to the mountains, and the adaptations he'll still have to make in the face of climate change.
