CHAMONIX TO ZERMATT The Walkers Haute Route Time: August/September. 177 km's long, 11 passes to cross, height gain 11,000 metres. Mont Blanc to the Matterhorn, passing through spectacular valleys, crossing high cols and clambering beside retreating glaciers. I have enjoyed the trek from Chamonix to Zermatt on numerous occasions, using the Kev Reynolds walking guides and Swiss maps. The following pages are a journal of the classic Haute Route. Days 1-3: Argentiere to Champex Days 4-6: Champex to Arolla Days 7-9: Arolla to Zinal Days 10-14: Zinal to Zermatt |
