Ng Thùy Linh

The Grande Casse is the highest mountain in the Vanoise Massif in the Graian Alps, and was first summited by William Mathews and guides Michel Croz and E. Favre in 1860.This France's third highest peak is near the Pralognan-la-Vanoise village, which is approximately 25 kilometers southeast of the Moûtiers town. It features a 600-meter-high north face. The mountain's other slopes are more gentle, consisting primarily of broken boulders. It is connected to the adjacent Grande Motte summit by a steep ridge. The watershed between the Tarentaise Valley to the north and the Maurienne Valley to the south is the ridge connecting the Grande Casse and the Grande Motte.


From the outside, the Grande Casse appears to be a difficult ascent. The regular route, on the other hand, is rather simple to ascend. As a result, the peak is a popular choice for inexperienced mountaineers wishing to improve their skills. This similar path attracts top skiers looking for a tough backcountry descent in the spring.
