Autumn on the Haute Route

posted by Alpine Exploratory on Friday, 16 October 2009

It is decidedly Autumnal in the Alps. A week of research in Switzerland brought all types of weather, as is common at this type of year: some sun but also some rain, cloud, wind and snow.

For our 2010 season we will offer the routes via St Luc and Hotel Weisshorn as alternatives, giving possibilities for more atmospheric or more gentle crossings to Gruben in addition to the normal route from Zinal. Details will be on the holiday pages below, plus our forthcoming Walking Guides page to the Haute Route. Please contact us at any point to discuss the trek.
