Back from our Chamonix Zermatt trek on the Walkers' Haute Route across the Swiss Ailps

9 Days. 12 passes. 100 miles or so. 34,000 vertical feet. We had a great time and found new friends and fine food all along this incredible trail from Chamonix to Zermatt. A detailed trip and gear performance report in a few. In the meantime some pictures.


At the start at the Col de Balme near Chamonix




Some nasty boulder fields on this trek. Follow the white and red blazes
