Tour des Muverans
The mountain range has been circled since 1989 by the Tour des Muverans high-altitude trail , which has a total length of around 50 kilometers. It runs clockwise from Lac de Derborence over the Col de la Forcla to Cabane Rambert, from which a detour to the peaks and the descent to Ovronnaz is possible. From there the path runs over the Col de Fénéstral to the Lacs de Fully and over the Col de Demècre to Rionda near Morcles and also goes around the Dent de Morcles . Then it runs along the Avançon river to Pont de Nant and over the Alpe Anzeinde and the Pas de Cheville back to the starting point at the lake. The tour is classified as a demanding mountain hike according to the SAC hiking scale .
