Description
Join me for a 5-day ski tour of the Haute Route in reverse, putting bit of a twist on this storied and iconic traverse through the Alps!
Instead of Chamonix, we begin in Zermatt, and over the course of five days we will make our way along the 180 kilometers of one of the oldest ski touring routes in Europe, through the sublimely picturesque Swiss and French Alps.
En route to our destination we will see some of the most iconic peaks in the whole mountain range, including the Matterhorn and Mont Blanc. There will be plenty else to marvel at as we pass through picturesque valleys and stay in remote mountain huts with the brilliant night sky above us.
Each day we will ski for about four to seven hours, covering quite a bit of ground along the way. For this reason we recommend some prior skiing experience and a relatively good level of physical fitness.
So what are you waiting for? Book now for this unforgettable five-day ski tour along a classic route through the sublimely scenic Swiss and French Alps!

What people are saying about ES Adventure Guides
Peter
This was a great trip and Explore Share made finding the right trip super easy. Our guide was personable, extremely knowledgeable, and experienced and willing to teach us the skills we would have needed to climb the Matterhorn. Unfortunatly, the conditions were not right to climb so our guide recemmended another trip which was still a great experience and lots of fun.
Emma
Very user friendly platform with timely responses from Explore Share representatives. The trip itself with Tom from Alps Adventures was awesome and ensure that we had an experience that was 100% what we wanted. Recommend both the platform and the guide. Thanks to all for arranging and delivering so well.

I had am amazing time during the 1-day off-piste training course at Hoch-Ybrig. Urs, our main mountain guide, was very helpful in answering my queries before the course, and Lupe from explore-share was helpful in selecting the course. We had 3 groups under Urs, Mario and Patrick, and I was in the group with Patrick. He gave us a lot of nice tips and individualized video analysis. He made a special effort to convey everything in English, since I don't know German. All the participants were very helpful and friendly too! The course is good value for money as skis are included for the weekend in the course price.
