The Haute Route, 7-day Ski tour from Chamonix to Zermatt
Join Kyriakos, an IFMGA mountain guide, for the experience of a lifetime: a 7-day ski tour of the Haute Route from Chamonix to Zermatt.
Highlights
Complete a ski tour of the Haute Route, a mountaineering classic
Take in beautiful high alpine scenery
Enjoy skiing down pristine slopes
Description
The Haute Route via ski tour is one experience you do not want to miss. Come along with me on this adventure-packed 7-day ski tour. We’ll climb mountains, ski down pristine slopes and experience the natural beauty of the Alps.
The route covers 180km of breathtaking alpine scenery from glaciers to alpine meadows. This is a classic route that Mountaineers have been undertaking since the 19th century. On this trip, we’ll be completing it on our skis.
We’ll start out from Chamonix and tour for 7 days. On the way, we’ll pass mountains like the Rosa Blanche and Pigne d’Arolla. We’ll be up high the entire time, stopping to spend our nights in alpine huts. Our epic journey will end in Zermatt, Switzerland with awesome views of the iconic Matterhorn.
This route can be challenging in parts but the satisfaction you’ll get from completing it will outweigh any difficulty. Plus, the views of the dramatic mountainous terrain are second to none.
Don’t wait, request to book now and I can guarantee that you’ll enjoy the experience of a lifetime.
If you’re interested in a mountaineering trip that you can do in a day, you should definitely take a look at my one-day climb of Mont Blanc.
Accommodation We'll be staying in huts during the trip. The cost to stay in one of these huts ranges from around 80-100 euro for half board per night. |

About the guide
I am an IFMGA mountain guide living in Cyprus. I have a passion for exploring the mountains since I was child. Kyperounda, the town where I was born and raised, was my first playground, the place where I started practising different outdoor activities.
First I learnt skiing. Then, I started training and taking part in races and competitions, traveling extensively in Europe. As I am very curious, I kept trying all kinds of sports until I discovered climbing and all its exciting possibilities.
I also developed both my academic and my practical skills in the university, where I studied Outdoor Studies and Sport Science. During that time, I obtained qualifications as a Mountain Leader and a Climber.
Teaching other people is one of the things I like the most. I find a deep joy in helping others to enjoy the mountains as much as I do.
The experience of all these years as well as my technical skills, have taken me closer to my goal: becoming an IFMGA mountain guide.

Taking a rock climbing course with Kyriakos was the right choice for me. He is professional, experienced, rigorous, very serious about his teaching and pushes you beyond your limits in the best way possible. He would always answer all questions we had and took the time to help with our weaknesses and fears. By the end of the course I felt I had build a strong background on safety and very confident to lead on my own. He is an aspiring mountain guide and nature lover. I would strongly recommend him as a teacher and as a guide!

Really happy with our guided off piste tour! Kyros took us places where other people hadn’t been skiing before, which was really nice.

Kyros was excellent and professional! I had some delays getting my equipment in the morning, and he was more than flexible and capable of making sure I got what I needed. I would recommend him to anyone.

We very much appreciated Kyros’ professionalism and knowledge of the area. We’re fairly adept skiers but were not all that familiar with the mountaineering gear or protocol - Kyros was very thorough with his directions and making sure we were all safe. I had a 12 and 13 year old with me and he gave me a lot of confidence with his skills without being patronizing. ( Plus...he found us the goods!) We all had a great day. Happy to recommend him for or offer other intel.

Kyriakos was awesome! Very knowledgeable but didn’t push or feel like a lesson. If we asked a question he’d answer but we never felt like he was trying to teach. I was extremely happy with how we saw every other “group” going down more or less the same route and he brought us over to a spot that was untouched.

We found Kyriakos to be thorough, professional, even tempered and completely trustworthy. At no point did we notice unnecessary risk or exposure and Kyriakos’s professional manner shone through at all times. We would definately consider using his services again in the future.

My Son and I we\'re absolutely delighted with our day out skiing the Vallee Blanche. Our guide Kyriakos was friendly, helpful and extremely professional. We really felt that we were being looked after by one of the best. Kyriakos also shared his knowledge of the route, the mountains and he even gave us some tips to improve our skiing. An absolutely fantastic experience that we will never forget.

Kyriakos was an exceptional guide and coach. His professionalism when he was training us together with his patience and his support made him the ideal trainer for me. This man is a calm force that you can count on. I will choose Kyriakos for the next rock climbing levels in the future to complete my training!
