The Haute Route
The Haute Route Ski Tour from Chamonix, France to Zermatt, Switzerland is perhaps Europe’s best ski tour. Adventures Within Reach has partnered with some of the best guides in Chamonix to offer this great tour at a great price. This year we changed our tour from an 8-day to a 9-day itinerary, allowing for more time and an extra hut night.
This route or “raid à skis” should be on the bucket list of any experienced backcountry skier. Largely over glaciers, the Haute Route on skis can be completed every year between March and early May – for backcountry skiers it is the ultimate late winter and early spring get-a-way!
Fresh Tracks
The tour we offer departs every week during the season. It includes 2 nights hotel in Chamonix before and after the tour. We can arrange for a transfer back to Chamonix at the end of the tour or you can decide to stay in Zermatt. Our goal is to provide the most flexible trip possible with a range of hotel options for before and after your tour.
For avid skiers we can add on a few days of touring with a private guide near Chamonix – you can consider skiing down the classic Vallée Blanche. You can also add a night in Chamonix at the start to simply relax and try a day skiing on the slopes (the ski lifts usually stay open through mid-April).
We can also arrange for private groups at a great price for groups of 3 to 6. A private group offers increased flexibility and a chance for your group to build a great relationship with a guide. We also offer set departures just for Telemark skiers! Just contact us for more information.
