Chamonix to Zermatt - The Classic Walkers Haute Route

Season:AW22

Brand:Cicerone

Code:5030431

One of Europe's classic trekking routes; The Chamonix - Zermatt Walkers Haute Route takes you through the heart of the Swiss Alps and some of the most amazing mountain scenery.

The Chamonix to Zermatt high level trek (Haute Route) covers 180km from the foot Mont Blanc to the foot of the Matterhorn. The route is described in 14 stages in this guide with a number of detours and variations.

In 2 weeks of mountain travel you will see the greatest collection of 4000 metre peaks in the Alps and visit some of the most spectacular valleys.

The route crosses 11 passes, gains more than 12,000 metres in height and is a strong contender for the title of Most Beautiful Walk in Europe. You will discover delightful villages and remote hamlets, wander flower meadows and forests, skirt exquisite tarns that turn mountains on their heads, and clamber beside glaciers. The way explores lonely stone-filled corries, with marmots along the boulders and ibex on the heights, and provides a surprise around every corner. This new edition now includes the exciting two-day Europaweg - a true high-level path that carries the Haute Route way above the Mattertal and into Zermatt - a worthy conclusion to a great trek.

The guidebook also includes essential practical information on travel to and from Chamonix and Zermatt, as well as information on accommodation in alpine villages and mountain refuges, trekking safety, itinerary planning and how to best plan and prepare for this challenging but rewarding trek.
