Tour of the Muveran in 4 days/3 nights in early August 2020 Jorasse - Au d'Arbignon Au d'Arbignon - Pont de Nant Pont de Nant - Derborence Derborence - Ovronnaz Very nice tour!!! Definitely worth doing again. Technically not very complicated (be careful, there may still be a little snow on the summits... even in summer). We took the TDM variants (well signposted) to avoid the more exposed sections. The trou à l'ours (a variant of the Tdm between La Tourche and Pont de Nant) is very nice (don't take the shortcut directly to Pont de Nant - you'll miss out). For refuges: At Au d'Arbignon, don't be afraid to be woken up by the cows at 5am. The atmosphere is very rustic, but also very cheap. The food at Pont de Nant is very, very good. The refuge at Lac de Derborence makes too much of its lakeside location. Personally, next time I'll push on to the Dorbon refuge, which looks a lot nicer. Thanks to the signposter I met at La Tourche for the information on the TdM variant.
