We were two friends who had decided to do the tour in 4 days. We planned the tour as follows Stage 1: Derborence - Cabane du Fenestral Stage 2: Cabane du Fenestral - La Tourche Stage 3: La Tourche - La Vare Stage 4: La Vare - Derborence The first stage is a fairly strenuous 8-9 hour walk. But we decided to do it this way to free up more time on the following days and be in 'holiday' mode. Even though we were exhausted after the first day, the following days we were able to really enjoy the tour, without stressing ourselves out. We left at 9am in the morning, taking advantage of eating our soluble pasta at lunchtime, arriving at the hut around 2pm-3pm. On the last day, we arrived at La Vare at 1pm. We made the most of this magnificent place, with an extraordinary hut keeper (Gérald). La Vare was incredible in terms of hospitality. Le Fenestral was also very good with the volunteers, the location and the breathtaking view. However, I was a little disappointed with the Tourche, which was a little too much in the "tourist" mode and less in the "mountain spirit". In any case, it's a good thing we had this pandemic, otherwise we wouldn't have had the idea of doing this tour. It's clear that we'll be doing it again, it's quite simply 4 days where you can see some magnificent scenery and meet some great people. I highly recommend it. Even without any specific preparation, it's clearly doable in 3-4 days.
