Itinerary

"We're still climbing; the slope gets steeper. We have now arrived in large pastures, all cut by stony projections that make them successive storeys."

C.F. Ramuz

One thing is certain on the eve of the start of the Tour des Muverans,
With its unique geology, rich flora and fauna, wide variety of landscapes, huts and variants, and exceptional views of the Rhône, Mont-Blanc and the Combins, this Tour will enchant you.

Even if you're not a geology specialist, you'll be surprised by the various unexpectedly folded rocks that testify to the force of the movements of the Earth's crust.

All eras have left their mark here: carboniferous rocks, flint, lapite and ammonite fossils tell the story of our planet.

Flora and fauna are not to be outdone. Along the way, you'll discover a multitude of alpine flower species, rub shoulders with chamois, ibex and marmots, and catch a glimpse of eagles and bearded vultures.

The climate in this region is one of the driest in Switzerland, making your hike all the more enjoyable!

    I had the pleasure of climbing to La Vare with a friend, where we began the ascent from the Pont de Nant, overlooking the Vaud mountains. The scenery was breathtakingly beautiful. After a sunny hour-and-a-quarter climb, we were warmly welcomed by the team at the alpine chalet, where we met Laura, who was on duty, and Pilou...

    The 2 of us set off from Pont de Nant on 1st August, heading for the Cabane de la Tourche. No sooner had we started walking than some heavy clouds rolled in and it didn't take long for the rain to start pouring down on us. So we decided not to go over the Col des Martinets and to take the alternative route to avoid...

    Well done and thank you for this great moment of happiness in a magnificent setting. The 4 of us set off from Pont de Nant last Monday, and from the first day we were won over by Gérald's warm welcome. The route to Derborence, suspended in the greenery and crests of Argentina, was rewarded by Jean Michel's sense of hospitality....

    We returned a few days ago from the wonderful adventure that is the Tour des Muverans, our eyes, hearts and heads full of enchanting memories. We rode it counter-clockwise, and I'd like to thank Gilbert, who was in charge of answering enquiries, for all the information, photos and other documents...

    We set off from Derborence to do the tour in 4 days and three nights, following the directions on the site and Gilbert Carrard's invaluable advice. Thank you Gilbert! The first day (Derborence-Rambert) immediately plunged us into a beautiful mountain atmosphere, with still quite a bit of snow around the Col de la Forcla. On the third day...
