Gunnar and Rolf is leaving March 24th for a one week superb skiing in the French/Italian/Swiss alps.The Haute Route is the French name given to a route first completed by members of the Alpine Club in 1861 as a walking route and originally called by them the High Level Road. It works its way from Chamonix in France to Zermatt in Switzerland crossing many high Alpine passes and glaciers.
This is the most famous ski tour in the Alps - a legendary hut-to-hut high alpine traverse linking two of the best-known alpine centres, Chamonix and Zermatt.
The Haute Route really is a wonderful ski journey across exceptionally high terrain. Its popular reputation is fully justified on account of the fabulous mountain scenery you pass through, the tough climbs, exhilarating descents, charming huts and terrific relief once it's all over!
