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 4-6: Champex to Arolla
Days 7-9: Arolla to Zinal
Days 10-14: Zinal to Zermatt
WHR - On the bridge over Lac des Dix
