Huge thanks, Debbie! ]Experience the heart of the world-famous Walker’s Haute Route that runs from Chamonix to Zermatt. This rugged walk will challenge your legs and reward your everything with stunning views of dramatic landscapes and a sense of awe and accomplishment every step of the way.
We’ll start near the ever-exciting Verbier and end in the quaint mountaineering village of Arolla, crossing remote mountain passes and landscapes only recently scoured by nearby glaciers. We’ll spend our nights in high alpine huts, enjoying our immersion in the core of Switzerland’s Valais Alps.

The hiking
The hiking on this trek is moderately difficult with some rough trail over rocks, some exposed sections and a climb up a fixed ladder. The first two days we’ll climb a bit more than 1000m up each day, with notably less climbing (and more descending) the last two days.
Food & Drink
We’ll eat family style at the huts each night. That usually means a soup, main course and dessert. They can accommodate standard dietary restrictions with advance notice. Breakfasts at the hut are simple and hearty. Beer, wine and spirits are available at each hut but are not included in the price of the trek.
