The summer trek from Chamonix, France to Zermatt, Switzerland is a classic adventure that cuts through some of the most spectacular alpine terrain on the planet with high alpine passes, quaint villages, and sweeping mountain vistas.
Our adventurous style combines the experience of staying at rustic alpine huts as well as the luxury of comfortable 3 and 4-star inns. And since food and bedding or provided, we can hike each day with just a lightweight day pack. It’s the best of both worlds!
Almost all of the Haute Route hike is along alpine trails. Very little off-trail hiking is encountered, but we do make use of ladders in some areas and perhaps encounter an easy snow field or glacier crossing.
