Three-day family tour from 8 to 10 August 2019 (2 well-trained children aged 11 and 15). We set off from Pont de Tant and stayed at the Fenestral hut and Dorbon, where we were warmly welcomed. The first stage was sublime (Col des Martinets and Perris Blancs before descending to the Cabane de la Tourche), but physically demanding. Superb from start to finish, with some wonderful encounters - chamois, ibex, vultures, marmots, salamanders and happy hikers!

I did the TdM from 17 to 21 July 2019 (5d/4n) with my 14-year-old daughter. Day 1 Pont de Nant - La Touche via the Col des Perris Blancs. Magnificent climb up the Nant valley. 2nd day La Touche - Fenestral via the Vire. A vertiginous but well-equipped trail. We were equipped to belay at the cables at critical points. Swimming in Fully lake was a pleasant experience. Great welcome at the Fenestral hut, thanks girls! Day 3 Fenestral - Rambert. Superb route along a torrent with a fine ascent in two stages. The encounter with the ibex at the foot of Muveran is always a magical moment. 4th day Rambert - Anzeindaz. A long descent to Derborence (4 hours). We were roped up for the descent of the Col de la Forcla and glacier (lots of snow). Sumptuous and wild scenery, including the ascent to the Pas de Cheville. 5th day Anzeindaz - Pont de Nant. A leisurely morning before a rewarding meal at the Pont de Nant inn. 5 days, around 22 hours' walking for 50km and 4,500 ascent in magnificent natural surroundings. Thank you for all the information you provided to help me plan this hike. I recommend the minimum equipment for children, which doesn't require a great deal of technical knowledge (harness, rope, karabiner and a 20m rope).

Tour des Muverans from 22 to 25 July 2019 in the heatwave! 4 days and 3 nights. Route Pont de Nant - Derborence - Cabane Rambert - Col du Demècre - Pont de Nant. On the advice of Gilbert, whom we met at Cabane Rambert (thanks to him!), we avoided Les Vires and the Col du Martinet (vertiginous) and went via L'Au d'Arbignon, La Tourche, Croix de Javerne, Javerne, Euzanne and Cinglo. We planned our route thanks to this site, which is practical and full of information. A huge thank you to all those who helped design this well-documented tool. It was a great pleasure to explore these wonderful landscapes, with their rich flora and fauna. The last stretch from Demècre to Pont de Nant is long, but can be done in a day. We didn't encounter any particular difficulties during these 4 days. A special mention goes to the wardens of the Cabane du Demècre and their wonderful welcome... with an accordion playing at the aperitif, what else!

Hi, first of all I'd like to thank you for providing a space where you can express your opinion on the Tour des Muverans. Then, of course, I'd like to say that anyone who loves the mountains and nature, and is fit enough to walk 4 or 6 hours a day, should do this route. I did it 5 weeks ago with my family and a couple of friends, and we were amazed by the landscapes, which were new, varied and impressive every day. It's true that the smiles from Dorbon and La Tourche are more enthusiastic than others, who are sometimes more 'commercial'... But all in all, everything was perfect, and I'm really looking forward to coming there again - in 2 or 3 years, I think. Best regards, Jean-Claude

After discovering the Tour des Muverans in its entirety in the summer of 2017, I had the great pleasure of hiking it again recently, in the company of a group of hiking friends who had come all the way from the Bouches-du Rhône. The three hours of rain between Martinets and the La Tourche hut were quickly forgotten thanks to the welcome and the menu that Karine had prepared for us! And the rest of the route was nothing but sunshine, blue skies, pleasure and enchantment, for - I think - everyone! The TdM: nothing but happiness...!

From 16 to 20 August 2018, we walked the TdM accompanied by the person in charge of maintenance and waymarking, which proved to be a huge advantage. We walked the route anticlockwise and, apart from 3 hours of rain on the first day, we enjoyed some very pleasant weather. The fauna, flora, geology and, above all, the landscapes made the TdM an enchantment. Five people from Provence who will probably do the TdM again.
