Petit Muveran

Petit Muveran rises to 2,810 meters above sea level, marking the border between the Swiss cantons of Vaud and Valais in the Bernese Alps range.

The mountain has served as a natural boundary marker between the cantons of Vaud and Valais since the establishment of modern Swiss territorial divisions.

Local mountain guides maintain traditional routes to the summit, passing down knowledge of safe passages through generations of mountaineering families.

Climbers can reach the starting point for ascents from Ovronnaz, with the Rambert Hut at 2,582 meters providing overnight accommodation during multi-day expeditions.

The mountain presents different geological compositions on its northern and southern faces, displaying distinct layers of limestone and crystalline rock formations.
