Walkers Haute Route

Walkers Haute Route


From £2,500
Altitude 2,965m Grade: T3

An Alpine classic from Chamonix to Zermatt crossing eleven high passes

This exciting route, connecting two world-renowned mountaineering centres, takes the walker through the most spectacular scenery the Alps has to offer, passing numerous 4000m peaks but itself never quite rising above 3000m. Measuring over 180km, and with at least eleven high passes to cross it weaves its way across the 'grain' of the land between the Rhone Valley to the north and the spine of the Alps to the south. You will pass through remote hamlets, spectacular valleys, flower-filled alps and deep forests, staying overnight in a variety of dormitories, refuges and hotels.

You need to carry a light backpack on this trip, and have a good degree of fitness to tackle over 10,000m of ascent and descent on this trip.

  • The altitude that you are expected to attain
  • The location especially when travelling to Antarctica

  • Medical cover
