Itinerary

Day

Day 1: From Ovronnaz to Cabane du Fenestral

Duration: 05:50 h

Distance: 9.9 km / 6.2 mi

Ascent: 1150 m / 3773 ft

Descent: 80 m / 262 ft

On your first day of hiking, there's an immediate steep ascent above 1000m. You can optionally choose to go up by ski lift from Ovronnaz and this will save you about half the altitude metres. With clear skies, you'll be lucky to get a view of the popular Mont Blanc on your first stage today. After a narrow 10 kilometers you will arrive at your first overnight stop, Cabane du Fenestral. This mountain lodge is beautifully located with a stunning view of the lake Lac de Fully where you can relax after your first hike.

Today you will hike the first part right next to the beautiful Swiss lake Lac de Fully, perfect for a stop to take photos for the home front. You continue towards Cabane du Demècre where you can take a short break after hiking about a third of your stage. Your way to Cabane de la Tourche is mainly T3 trails and will be quite challenging, but of course a drink will be waiting for you at this cosy mountain hut which, like your previous accommodation, is located at a great place.
