The Walkers Haute Route Mont Blanc
WALKERS’ HAUTE ROUTE
This is the Walkers’ Haute Route that links Chamonix, Arolla and Zermatt. Although lower and easier than the Classic Haute Route you will immediately find yourself immersed in the incredible mountain scenery, the very best in the Alps. Skirting glaciers, we ascend passes gaining breathtaking views of the surrounding peaks, including the 4000+m giants of Dent Blanche, Zinalrothorn and Weisshorn and of course, Mont Blanc and the Matterhorn. On reaching Zermatt, as a climax, we will take a final steep walk up to the Hörnli Alpine hut, situated directly at the base of the world famous Matterhorn. Suitable for the experienced trekker who is used to rugged terrain and has a good level of fitness. Accommodation will be in a variety of hotels, gîtes and spectacularly located mountain refuges.
INCLUSIONS: 12 breakfasts, 9 lunches, 9 dinners, luggage transfers (10kg limit), 4/5 nights mountain Alpine refuges, 3/4 nights gîtes, 3/4 nights hotels.
