Chambe Hut to Likhubula Forest Gate, via Likhubula Waterfalls
4 days. 3 nights. 1 very big mountain.
Mount Mulanje was incredible.
We started at Likhubula Forest Gate and climbed up to Luchenya Hut for our first night - 4,350ft / 1,326m of ascent. And it was tough going in the African sun! But the views were already spectacular. Lush…

Geneva Hike
Geneva Tourist Day
Now we've finished Stage 1 of the Hexatrek, we treated ourselves to a proper tourist day in Geneva.
One of the best things about staying here was the free Geneva Transport Card, which most hotels provide. It gives you unlimited travel on the trams, buses, trains and…

From Saint-Cergue to Nyon
🥾 Hexatrek Day 27 🥾
Saint-Cergue to Nyon
Stage 1 complete!
We were up early to try and beat the heat, with temperatures forecast to reach 34°C. The day began with a brutal climb straight up to La Dôle (1,671m). The trail was steep, rocky and uneven, but the views…

From Mont Tendre to Saint-Cergue
🥾 Hexatrek Day 26🥾
Mont Tendre to Saint-Cergue
Our penultimate day on the trail and we deliberately slowed the pace a little, taking it all in rather than rushing through. 17.1 miles today, but every mile felt worth it.
Gorgeous weather again, with stunning views of the Alps appearing and…

Vallorbe to Mont Tendre
Another fantastic day on the trail! The weather was absolutely glorious again, and we set off early knowing we had a big climb ahead - over 900 metres of elevation to reach the highest point of Stage 1.
Before leaving…

🥾 Hexatrek Day 23 🥾
Pontarlier to Les Hospitaux-Neufs
4am alarm this morning, but not because of the weather this time! Our hotel was about 7km from where we needed to rejoin the Hexatrek at the Château de Joux, so we hiked 2km into town to catch the 5:49am bus.…

Chateau de Joux circular from Pontalier
🥾 Hexatrek Rest Day Adventure 🥾
Rather than tackling this section of the Hexatrek with our full packs on Monday, we decided to make the most of today's beautiful weather and hike it bag-free so we could really slow down and explore. It was definitely the right decision!
Our first…
