Hiking

Our hike usually take around 4 to 5 hours and involve several hundred metres of height gain (usually close to 1000).  We now also include a several day hike with 2 to 3 nights in a refuge. This started with the Tour des Muverans 4 day hike in September 2018. No 3 day hike in 2020 or 2021 due to Covid restrictions.

Peter Taylor coordinates the group and a different volunteer leads each hike. Volunteers please to Peter.
