Hello Juan, and welcome to this forum!
I think you've selected a beautiful tour. I don't know it personally though, so I don't know if I can add anything valuable to the information that can be found online. Just a few good websites that you may not have discovered yet: the website of
Wanderland Schweiz gives a detailed description of part of this tour, including a map, a hight profile and further tips. A
Swiss website entirely dedicated to the Tour des Muverans is available as well. It's in French, but Google translate may help you understand the most importation information, and an English PDF file with a description can be downloaded.
The Tour des Muverans is a mountain route that requires good physical shape and some experience with multiple day mountain hikes. It's important to plan this tour well. Our
general tips may help you with this. You should especially pay attention to the weather. Try to get a recent weather forecast each day before leaving, and be sure to know about alternative routes and shelter options. As for the season: although the tour can be started from mid-June, it would be safer to plan it a bit later, as snow can still block sections of the route in late spring/early summer. On the other hand: even in July, August and September snow may fall. Weather in the mountains is unpredictable, and all you can do is select the period with the lowest risk of snow (July-September) and pay close attention to weather conditions each day of your trip.
I hope you'll succeed in finding fellow-hikers! Have a wonderful tour and please let us know if you have further questions.
