Grapillon des Merles

Grapillon des Merles rises to 2,784 meters within Vanoise National Park, featuring distinct rocky formations and numerous hiking trails across its slopes.

The mountain paths have served as traditional routes for shepherds moving their flocks between valley pastures and high-altitude grazing grounds for generations.

The Palet mountain refuge at 1,982 meters maintains the alpine tradition of providing shelter and meals to hikers exploring the Vanoise massif.

Marked trails to the summit start from Tignes village, with detailed maps and guidance available from the local mountain guide office.

The peak stands with an 80-meter prominence above surrounding terrain and ranks as the fifth highest point within the Tignes-Champagny nature reserve.
