Begin your 25-day hike to Mont Blanc with a tranquil start on the monastery tour through the Baselbieter and Solothurn Jura. This first stage is a short three-hour journey, giving you plenty of time to arrive. Walk through Basel to the Birs and follow it to Dornach, where you can spend the night in the former Capuchin monastery, which is now an ecumenical, social and cultural centre.
