The Classic Haute Route Ski touring trip is justifiably the most famous ski touring route in the Alps. This is the High Alps at their best, crowned by Mont Blanc in Chamonix and the Matterhorn in Zermatt. We allow seven days for our guided Haute Route ski tour. This allows for a warm up and assessment day with the guide before setting off, and a reasonable contingency time in the schedule should bad weather intervene. This also makes for a much more relaxing and enjoyable trip. Our Chamonix - Zermatt Haute Route itinerary follows the standard route via Verbier. We will be staying in refuges for all five nights of the trip, so we will only be carrying food and water required for each day. A superb ski tour amongst the finest mountain scenery in the world.
