<\/i><\/span><\/i><\/span>What is the best map to prepare our Tour of the Muverans ?<\/span><\/i><\/div>

Nous vous conseillons vivement le recours aux applications gratuites pour smartphones SwitzerlandMobility<\/a>, ou\/et Swisstopo<\/a>. L’avantage de ces applications est, entre autres, d’\u00eatres mises \u00e0 jour au minimum une fois par an, ce qui n’est bien s\u00fbr pas le cas d’une carte papier. Elles sont beaucoup plus pr\u00e9cises que Google Map que nous vous d\u00e9conseillons d’utiliser en montagne. Par contre, pensez \u00e0 t\u00e9l\u00e9charger les cartes n\u00e9cessaires \u00e0 votre rando, chez vous, en profitant de votre Wi-Fi.<\/p>

Pour les adeptes des cartes papiers, la carte \u00abDu Rh\u00f4ne aux Muverans\u00bb, couvre la totalit\u00e9 du TdM, au 1:25’000. Elle peut \u00eatre achet\u00e9e aupr\u00e8s de divers revendeurs sp\u00e9cialis\u00e9s et Offices de Tourisme \u2013 en particulier celui d’Ovronnaz, boutique-ovronnaz.ch<\/a><\/p><\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>

\n\t\t\t\t\t
<\/i><\/span><\/i><\/span>Can I find information on your site or through you about the weather and the conditions that may be encountered at a particular time on the Tour des Muverans?<\/span><\/i><\/div>

L’application gratuite pour smartphone M\u00e9t\u00e9osuisse<\/a> donne des informations assez pr\u00e9cises en temps r\u00e9el. Sinon, vous avez toujours la possibilit\u00e9 de vous renseignez aupr\u00e8s des gardiens et gardiennes de cabane. N’oubliez cependant pas d’emportez avec vous le mat\u00e9riel n\u00e9cessaire en cas de mauvais temps et de froid.<\/p><\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>

\n\t\t\t\t\t
<\/i><\/span><\/i><\/span>We were told about two places (the vires and the Col des Martinets \/ Col des Perris: Blancs passage) that are a little dizzy, at least for those who have problems with heights or very steep slopes. Is it possible to find easier ways around?<\/span><\/i><\/div>

Yes, no problem.
L\u00b4un de ces passages est une vire qui serpente \u00e0 la base des Dents de Morcles, sur le tron\u00e7on col du Dem\u00e8cre \u2013 Rionda. ll s’\u00e9vite ais\u00e9ment en suivant la signal\u00e9tique \u00abVariante\u00bb du TdM, via l\u00b4Au d’Arbignon.
L\u00b4autre passage, le point culminant du TdM, est le col des Martinets, 2612 m, parfaitement s\u00e9curis\u00e9. Si on veut l’\u00e9viter, suivre la \u00ab Variante \u00bb permettant de rallier la cabane de la Tourche \u00e0 Pont-de-Nant, via l\u00b4alpage de Javerne.<\/p><\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>

\n\t\t\t\t\t
<\/i><\/span><\/i><\/span>I have a dog and I always walk with him. Is it possible to do the TdM with him?<\/span><\/i><\/div>

No !
Your companion will not be welcome: most of the route passes through protected areas. Walking on a lead is the absolute rule.
Few cabins accept dogs. Ask the wardens for information.<\/p><\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>

\n\t\t\t\t\t
<\/i><\/span><\/i><\/span>On a map I've seen a number of passages that tempt me, but that don't seem to be part of the usual itinerary: the Pacheu, and the Col des Chamois, with the idea of a Rambert - Cabane Plan N\u00e9v\u00e9 - Anzeindaz crossing. What do you think?<\/span><\/i><\/div>

Le Pacheu: this pass is for experienced climbers who don't need signposted paths or our services!
The Col des Chamois is signposted as a white-blue-white alpine hiking trail. It is equipped with cables. This is an Alpine pass, which cannot be included in a hiking tour.<\/p><\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>

\n\t\t\t\t\t
<\/i><\/span><\/i><\/span>What are the different starting points for the TdM?<\/span><\/i><\/div>

As shown on the map, there are car parks at Pont-de-Nant, Ovronnaz, Derborence and Solalex (for which a charge is made).<\/p><\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>

\n\t\t\t\t\t
<\/i><\/span><\/i><\/span>Is it possible to leave from the village of Morcles?<\/span><\/i><\/div>

Unfortunately, the village of Morcles is no longer served by public transport. However, you can park your car at Les Martinaux, 1726 m above Morcles. From there, you can walk to the La Tourche hut in 1 hour and 15 minutes.<\/p><\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>

\n\t\t\t\t\t
<\/i><\/span><\/i><\/span>Is it possible to do the TdM sleeping freely in your camping tent, without using cabins or g\u00eetes?<\/span><\/i><\/div>

In view of the various laws and wildlife protection zones, the best answer is no. You could try contacting the hut wardens and mountain pasture operators to obtain hypothetical authorisations.<\/p><\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>

\n\t\t\t\t\t
<\/i><\/span><\/i><\/span>When is the best time to visit the TdM?<\/span><\/i><\/div>

The TdM is a walking tour. The recommended period is from June to September.
In some years it will be open from the beginning of June to the end of October.<\/p><\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>

\n\t\t\t\t\t
<\/i><\/span><\/i><\/span>Can it be enjoyed in winter too?<\/span><\/i><\/div>

Although some sections are accessible in winter, they are nothing like the Tour des Muverans, which is a summer hike.<\/p><\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>

\n\t\t\t\t\t
<\/i><\/span><\/i><\/span>Is it possible to do the entire TdM route in winter, on ski touring skis?<\/span><\/i><\/div>

No, the TdM is not a skiing route.<\/p><\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>

\n\t\t\t\t\t
<\/i><\/span><\/i><\/span>Are there any winter walks along the TdM route?<\/span><\/i><\/div>

Although some sections are accessible in winter, they have nothing to do with the Tour des Muverans, which is, and remains, a summer hike.<\/p><\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div><\/div>\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
