The comfortable trails, friendly hut staff, and marmots seen along the way all add to the experience. As opposed to many other hut hiking tours, this tour stays rather high, rarely dropping down all the way into a valley along the way.
This tour is perfect for those wanting minimal exposure and more mellow grades than can be found elsewhere in the western Alps.
