Join a 4-day trek in the Swiss Alps, travelling through lush alpine meadows, passing waterfalls and enjoying unforgettable views across the Alps towards the Matterhorn, Mont Blanc and down to Lake Geneva. This walk is a hidden gem only known by locals. It has the views, the paths and the ambience. What it doesn't have are the crowds. We stay in small, intimate huts, with fantastic views and the opportunity to see some incredible wildlife; Marmots, Chamois, Swiss Cows, Ibex, Lynx, Golden Eagles and more. Once we leave the cars we won't see another tarmac road until the end of our trip.
We each have 20 years plus experience of running trips in the mountains and living in Switzerland. We are originally English but have lived here for many years. Our team are all UIMLA International Mountain Leaders or UIAGM Mountain Guides. This is an ideal trip to meet new people and have a new experience.
Day 1: Hike from Solalex to Refuge du Lac de Deborence
You will be picked up from Aigle train station at 2:00pm, which you can reach with regular trains. You'll be driven to Solalex from where you'll begin the hike. You'll trek through the alpine meadows of Pas De Cheville taking in the beautiful views of the Matterhorn and the Valaisan Alps along the way. You'll arrive at the Refuge du Lac de Deborence where you'll spend the night at a height of 1480m altitude.
Day 2: Refuge de Lac de Deborence to Cabane Rambert
After a traditional Swiss breakfast, and perhaps a swim, you'll start to traverse the south side of the Grand Muveran, stopping along the way for a well-deserved pancake. In the afternoon, you'll follow the river up to the pastures of Pro Flouri, and your accommodation in the remote Cabane Rambert and their herd of bouquetin.
Day 3: Cabane Rambert to Cabane Demecre
The day starts with a hike past the waterfalls of Passing Le Pessot, to Ovronnaz (known for fantastic local cakes!). After stopping for a break, you'll continue to trek past beautiful mountains including Tita Seri (2850m), Dent de Morcles (2,970m) and Grand Chavalard (2 898m). Throughout the day we pass bearded vulture and golden eagle nests. There will also be an option for another mountain lake swim. In the evening, you can relax and enjoy the hut wardens' specialty Spaghetti with the rest of the team.
Day 4: Cabane Demercre to Javerne
Today is your final day of hiking, trekking back towards the north side of the Grand Muveran where you'll get views of Lake Geneva. It's an early start as you make your way up to Cabane La Tourche. After lunch, it's then a pleasant hike down the mountain to Javerne and the shuttle to Aigle. From here you can take the train around Lake Geneva to the airport, or spend some time relaxing in the valley.
