Trekking the Haute Route: Mont Blanc to the Matterhorn
August 22 - September 2, 2015
The lure of the Haute Route: a) a solid physical challenge - over ~114 miles we climb ~36,000 vertical feet and cross 11 mountain passes b) the nice balance between staying in mountain huts and small hotels in remote valley villages c) the breathtaking setting of the Lac des Dix and Lac de Moiry d) the long ascent over the Fenetre d’Arpette e) he splendid Cabane de Moiry sited opposite a dramatic ice wall at 8,700 feet f) the charm of Champex, an idyllic mountain resort village.
