Description

Join me on this classic hike between the resort towns of Chamonix in France and Zermatt in Switzerland. This 6-day itinerary is among the most famous in the world and an absolute must for every true hiker!

During this 6 day hut-to-hut route, we’ll enjoy unforgettable views of some of the most famous peaks in the Alps: Mont Blanc, Matterhorn, Grand Combin and Monte Rosa, among many others. While the first day of the hike will be spent mostly in France, the rest of the trek takes place in Switzerland (please check out the more detailed itinerary below).

We’ll spend 5 nights in mountain huts — most of them located at more than 3000 meters! They all have a great atmosphere and offer great food, so you’ll probably spend your evenings gathered around the table sharing a bottle of red wine with hikers from all over the world.

Although no technical skills are necessary, please be aware that this hike is quite demanding. We’ll walk from 7 to 9 hours per day (25km) while carrying a 10k backpack so make sure you’re fit enough to be able to enjoy the trek!

Sounds like fun? It will be! Request to book this trip and we’ll travel the world-famous Haute Route together. I promise an unforgettable experience!

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!

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.

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.

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.
