Ski Tour the Chamonix-Zermatt Haute Route

There are still places left on the Chamonix-Zermatt Haute Route ski tour at the end of this winter. Chamonix Experience are running weekly trips from the end of March to the beginning of May. This is a fantastic ski tour not to be missed for those who have the ski touring bug.

If you have not yet tried this sport we do not recommend that you go straight on the Haute Route but instead start with the Ski Touring Intro Course. This will take you to many different areas in the Mont Blanc range and finish off with a 4000m summit. Not bad for a start! Skinning up Tete Blanche on the Haute RouteSki touring

Ski Touring La Floria – 08/02/2008

Skinning up La Floria

Starting from the Index chair lift at Flegere you go pretty much straight up. You can skin most of the way but the last little bit is getting a bit too steep and narrow and you are better off putting crampons on and boot packing up. (more…)
