This list features the Col de l'Iseran, the highest paved pass in the Alps at 2,770 meters, and the 3,601-meter Tsanteleina peak on the Italian border. The selection also highlights significant water features, including the Cascade de la Fraîche near Pralognan-la-Vanoise and the glacial falls of Cascades les Pissets, showcasing the park's diverse alpine topography and glacial hydrology.
