Hiking the Haute Route: Chamonix to Zermatt

The Chamonix to Zermatt Haute Route might be one of the best multi-day hikes in the Alps. Learn why some hikers like it Haute in this webinar!
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Connecting two of Europe’s most recognizable peaks, Mont Blanc and Matterhorn, the Haute Route is one of the greatest multi-day treks on the continent.
The route is an unyielding string of undulating meadows and high mountain passes, with views to rival the Tour du Mont Blanc, but sans the crowds. As idyllic as it may sound, though, the trek takes a serious amount of dedication, endurance, and planning.
With only a fixed starting and ending point, it is up to you to craft your own itinerary, via a series of mountain huts and quaint villages scattered along the way. Without good guidance, it can be too much to wrap your head around.
Luckily, guidance is what International Mountain Guide Emma Jack does best! Watch as she shares everything you need to know about the Haute Route, from packing and physical preparations to planning your perfect itinerary.
