Tour des Muverans
"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!
