Description

This 6-day Haute Route ski touring program is the ultimate skiing adventure that every proud off piste skier should complete!

The Haute Route goes for 180 km from Chamonix in France to Zermatt in Switzerland. It was completed for the first time in 1861 and it has been a goal for many climbers and skiers since then.

In addition to connecting 2 traditional alpine towns, this route goes through 2 amazing mountains like Mont Blanc (4810) and Cervino (4478).

I offer you to complete the route in 6 days. This will allow you to ski some of the best slopes in the Alps, but also to enjoy the incredible snowed sceneries during the whole traverse. On top of this you’ll be experiencing spending the nights in the middle of the mountain. We’ll stay in traditional refuges, build many years ago and with many stories to tell.

This ski tour is accessible to all skiers with a bit of experience ski touring in all kind of snow and some nights in mountains huts.

So if you’d like to Join me for this 6-day Haute Route ski touring program please contact me to check the details and start preparing this adventure.
