The Haute Route Ski Traverse - Chamonix to Zermatt

(1 Reviews )

Duration

7 days

Overview

There are a few variations of the route, however our preference is the Verbier Variation which gives the best blend of quality skiing, exciting terrain, and reasonable travel times on our skis each day. On day 3, we use a local Gondola in Verbier which makes gaining altitude fast and efficient leaving the village. Beyond Verbier, hightlights of the route include stays in Verbier, the spectacular Cabane Des Dix, an outstanding ascent to the Pigne D'Arolla and finish the week with the run of a lifetime as we ski down from summit level, below the iconic north face of the Matterhorn to arrive in Zermatt your waiting hotel and a team meal in the town center. The huts we visit are opperated by both Swiss and French Alpine Clubs. While they are comfortable and clean, they also provide hearty mountain meals for our groups each night.
