New! Walker's Haute Route
posted by Alpine Exploratory on Friday, 10 October 2008
We're thrilled to be offering a new trip for summer 2009: the Walker's Haute Route. This is one of the classic treks of Europe, taking about a fortnight. It's distinct from the original or 'Classic' Haute Route which is a ski tour or high-mountain expedition. The Walker's version sticks to walker's trails, often challenging, but nevertheless a walker's domain.
The route runs from Chamonix to Zermatt. Along the way, a series of passes need to be crossed; these passes are on the North-South mountain ridges that run up to the main Pennine chain of this part of the Alps. Passes are typically 2,800m or 2,900m. Stages are broken up by villages and huts, for the most part handily placed.
We are offering the whole route, plus each half of the route. It splits quite neatly into two at Arolla.
