Chamonix - Zermatt - Haute Route

The name “Haute Route” has become a household name for mountaineers and ski mountaineers. First he draws the high passes that lead from the Mont Blanc area to the Zermatt mountains. In 1861, this Haute Route was climbed for the first time by members of the British Alpine Club as a summer high route. In January 1903, four men from Chamonix dared to walk the Haute Route with skis and snow tires for the first time. Over the last decade, high routes have also emerged in other areas of our Alps, which we can call the Haute Route.

The Haute Route is the most famous of all ski crossings and is considered an accolade for every ski tourer. Our five-day variant from Chamonix to Zermatt combines the most beautiful sections and huts into an unforgettable experience. A parade tour for tour-goers in good physical condition that is worth every meter of altitude!
