Description

Join me on this epic and unforgettable ski touring trek along the Haute Route!

Over the course of six days we will make our way from one gorgeous mountain hut to another all the way from Chamonix, France to Zermatt, Switzerland.

This 180 kilometer route, which people have been mountaineering since the mid-nineteenth century and ski touring since the early twentieth, will take us through picturesque glaciers as well as past some of the most iconic peaks in the Alps, including Mont Blanc and the Matterhorn!

We will enjoy the remote and lovely solitude of the French and then Swiss Alps, passing through idyllic towns along the way. We start each day with a healthy and energetic breakfast in the mountain hut and will wind down each evening with a delicious dinner.

Each day we will ski for about four to seven hours, covering quite a bit of ground along the way. For this reason we recommend some prior skiing experience and a relatively good level of physical fitness.

So what are you waiting for? Book now for your chance to ski tour this classic traverse through the sublimely scenic Alps!

If you like the look of this job then we also think you will enjoy our 5-day Haute Route ski tour from Zermatt to Chamonix!

Man

Climbing with guide Guillaume was absolutely a highlight of my 2-week Europe vacation. Originally, we were planning on climbing in the Calanques, but the park was closed due to wind and fire danger. Guillaume chose another amazing location (Pic de Bretagne) based on my climbing abilities and preferences and kindly offered train station pick-up and hotel drop off, which I appreciated very much. The multi-pitch route we did was not only fun but also the right amount of challenge, which I thoroughly enjoyed. The communication from the team (Gauthier) was prompt and clear—highly recommend!

Maxine

Luis Silva was a great climbing guide and belayer! He taught me how to do moves that were difficult and encouraged me to try routes that were challenging for me! Because of his encouragement, I managed to complete these routes! I really enjoyed the climbs and completed 8 routes in the Sesimbra/Azoia area. The weather was perfect, no direct sun and cool enough to enjoy the climbs. Explore-Share made booking an outdoor climbing experience in Lisbon extremely easy. Luis, our guide, was fantastic, and the platform’s organization was flawless.

Joshua

We had Léo as a guide for our day climb in Fonty. We were blessed with a knowledgeable, warm, and instructive guide. Communication with Léo and Ivan was smooth and swift. Explore-Share was excellent in arranging everything for our day climb. The communication was quick, and the platform was easy to use, making our adventure stress-free.

Cami

Patrick was a great guide. He took us on an intermediate Via Ferrata at Passo Sella. Renato was quick to respond with any outreach on the Explore-Share platform. The booking process was straightforward, and once Patrick was confirmed, all went well. It was a wonderful experience, and I’d highly recommend the platform.
