The Swiss Alps have their popular crowd-pleasers, but they also have this: a fast, uncrowded hut-to-hut alternative that packs in the same big scenery over just four days. We circle the Petit and Grand Muveran on trails most hikers skip, sleeping in three huts that couldn’t be more different: a working farm with its own cows and garden, a classic auberge, and a modern refuge with views to Mont Blanc. It’s the kind of trek that rewards those willing to trade famous trails for something wilder and far less crowded.

Adventure Highlights

Big Alps, small time commitment: Four days is all it takes to hike high passes, sleep in mountain huts, and see views most treks make you work a week or more for
A route not many people choose: The Muverans circuit sits just outside the shadow of the Tour du Mont Blanc and the Haute Route, so the trails and huts are actually quiet
Three huts, three totally different worlds: A working farm with its own cows and garden, a classic auberge, and a modern refuge looking out toward Mont Blanc and Lake Geneva

This four-day hut-to-hut circuit takes us around the Petit and Grand Muveran, two of the more distinctive peaks in the Swiss Alps, on trails that stay well clear of the region's crowds. Starting and ending at Jorasse, above Ovronnaz, we spend three nights in mountain huts, each with its own character; one is a working farm, another a cozy auberge, the last a refuge with sweeping views toward Mont Blanc and Lake Geneva. Along the way, we cross open pastures, climb rocky passes, and cover some of the Alps' more overlooked terrain. A certified guide leads throughout, with breakfast, dinner, and packed lunches included every day.

Day 1: Jorasse to Dorbon

Jorasse to Dorbon — Hiking in Ovronnaz | Switzerland

We kick things off by taking the cable car to Jorasse, where alpine pastures open up around us and the mountain feels all yours. The trail makes a steady climb then winds across rugged landscape around the Muverans massif. Wildflowers, cowbells, and big mountain views set the scene. By late afternoon, we reach Gîte de l’Alpage de Dorbon, a working farm where your bunk is ready and dinner is homegrown. Shared stories, mountain air, and a real sense of arrival cap our first day.

Meals: Breakfast, packed lunch, dinner
Distance: 12 km (7.5 mi)
Elevation: +964 m (+3,163 ft) / -947 m (-3,107 ft)
Accommodation: Gîte de l’Alpage de Dorbon (shared dormitory)

Day 2: Dorbon to Pont de Nant

Dorbon to Pont de Nant — Hiking in Ovronnaz | Switzerland

After a farm breakfast, we head deeper into quiet alpine terrain. The day is long and varied—expect forests, open ridgelines, and steadily changing views. Our route dips and rolls before a big descent towards Pont de Nant. By evening, we arrive at the Auberge de Pont de Nant, a rustic favorite tucked into a valley known for its wildflowers. Feet up, pack off, and time to relax—this is how you settle into hut-to-hut rhythm.

Meals: Breakfast, packed lunch, dinner
Distance: 17 km (10.5 mi)
Elevation: +840 m (+2,756 ft) / -1,543 m (-5,062 ft)
Accommodation: Auberge de Pont de Nant (shared dormitory)

Day 3: Pont de Nant to Cabane de la Tourche

Pont de Nant to Cabane de la Tourche — Hiking in Ovronnaz | Switzerland

A big ascent kicks off our day as we leave the valley floor and climb towards the high peaks. The trail is steady but spectacular, with the Petit and Grand Muveran coming into full focus. Alpine crossings reward us with sweeping southern views—on a clear morning you can spot Mont Blanc and even down to Lake Geneva. We end at Cabane de la Tourche, a modern hut perched above the valley, where the sunset is something you’ll remember.

Meals: Breakfast, packed lunch, dinner
Distance: 10.5 km (6.5 mi)
Elevation: +1,490 m (+4,888 ft) / -561 m (-1,841 ft)
Accommodation: Cabane de la Tourche (shared dormitory)

Day 4: Cabane de la Tourche to Jorasse and circuit finish

Cabane de la Tourche to Jorasse and circuit finish — Hiking in Ovronnaz | Switzerland

After a final mountain breakfast, we start our descent along a narrow trail with a few short protected sections. The scenery here is wild, with huge valleys dropping away and a real sense of crossing big country. After looping back to Jorasse, there’s a moment to celebrate—you’ve completed the Tour des Muverans circuit. If you want, it’s just a quick transfer to the thermal baths at Lavey-les-Bains; a well-earned soak after days on the move.

Meals: Breakfast, packed lunch
Accommodation: None (trip ends after hike)

Swiss huts — Hiking in Ovronnaz | Switzerland

Lodging & food

Swiss huts

Throughout our journey, we stay in three characterful mountain accommodations: Dorbon, a welcoming alpine farm with its own garden and cows; Pont de Nant, a classic valley auberge; and Cabane de la Tourche, a modern hut with panoramic views toward Mont Blanc and Lake Geneva. You’ll be sleeping in shared dormitory rooms with thick stone walls and cozy wooden bunks, surrounded by the bustle of hikers and the peace of mountain nights. Warm common rooms offer a spot to trade stories or just zone out with the sunset.

Mountain cuisine

Every day, you’ll dig into hearty mountain breakfasts and dinners, plus a packed lunch for your hike. Meals focus on local ingredients—fresh milk and cheese at Dorbon, seasonal and nature-inspired dishes at Pont de Nant, and hearty classics at each hut. It’s home-style, filling, and a great window into alpine food culture. With advance notice, the huts can adapt menus for most dietary needs.

Famke

UIMLA Mountain Leader

Thanks to her parents, Famke has been spending time in the mountains since a very early age—she was even selected in the Young Netherlands Ski Team! Though Famke soon realized that competitive skiing isn’t for her, she kept on skiing and exploring the mountains with her friends. There’s nothing nicer for her in the world than setting off for a hike with her friends, her dog, and a delicious picnic, which inspired her to sign up for the International Mountain Leader training course in Switzerland. Having completed the course in 2018, Famke’s been taking other travelers to explore the Alps. Whether it’s snowshoeing, trekking, wildcamping, backpacking, or hiking, Famke is happy to show you the beauty of the Alps!

Roos

Last summer, Famke took me on a trek of discovery. My first steps in the mountains followed the Tour des Muverans. It was a magnificent trek with a different landscape every day, and Famke guided me along the most beautiful paths and to the best huts. With a combination of knowledge, wisdom, and humour, she taught me the basics of being in the mountains.It was wonderful! Thank you, Fam, I’m already planning my next trip!

Maud

An epic experience and very nice to share this with Famke and the other participants. We’ve created unforgettable memories.

Felipe

Hiking is about you, nature and hopefully someone else who loves being out as much as you do. Famke loves what she does… and you can tell. I would recommend hiking with her to anyone who’s interested in connecting with the overwhelming beauty of nature. Also… hiking is just a great way of meeting nice people.

Thanks a lot Famke!
