Starting in Chamonix, the heart of the Mont Blanc range and ending up in Zermatt in the shadow of one of the most famous mountains in the Alps, the Matterhorn, the Haute Route is a journey that every ski touring enthusiast  should undertake at least once in their lives.

It is one of the most spectacular high mountain itineraries in the world, winding its way over remote alpine passes, traversing glaciers and through Alpine villages. There are constantly changing views of Mont Blanc, Matterhorn, Grand Combin and Monte Rosa.

We allow seven days for our guided Haute Route ski trip. This allows for a warm-up day with your guide in Chamonix before setting off, and plenty of slack in the schedule should bad weather intervene. This also makes for a much more relaxing and enjoyable trip. Our Chamonix – Zermatt Haute Route itinerary follows the standard route via Verbier. You will be staying in refuges for all five nights of the trip, so you will only be carrying your personal gear plus food and water required for each day.

Contact the Chamonix Experience office (+33 4 50 54 09 36) to book!

The Haute Route is a legendary ski tour – departing Chamonix and traversing the Alps to finish off in Zermatt in the shadow of the Matterhorn.  It is a very popular ski touring route, and last week we had a full group of six, led by French Guide Greg Sauget. It was an extremely international group, with Edson from Brazil, Sarah from Australia, Daniel from Israel, Tony from New Zealand, Hannes from Iceland and Arne from Norway. Despite very mixed weather, they made it all the way across to Zermatt and had some beautiful days of great touring and skiing.

With all this late snow we should have a great late touring season. We have a guided group skiing the Haute Route the 1st to the 7th of May. There is a slight change in the programme with a warm-up day skiing the Vallee Blanche and then going straight to the Trient refuge. Price is 1795€ including 3 hotel nights in Chamonix B&B, all refuges with dinner and breakfast, lifts and transport during the trip.

For more info contact us or see our Haute Route ski page.

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!

Big days in the mountains start early: 8 am RV at the Aiguille du Midi lift in Chamonix. It is early February and already busy with mainly skiers and a few climbers buzzing with excitement about the day ahead.

We started the day by skiing a variation of the Valley Blanche called the Petit Envers and managed to find some nice snow that was still untracked. (more…)

Opposite Mont Blanc is the Aiguilles Rouges with many ski touring possibilities. Slightly lower and less glaciated but nevertheless challenging.

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…)
