The Walker's Haute Route is an incredible trek between the two most famous mountain towns in the Alps. Travelling from Chamonix in France to Zermatt in Switzerland, you will start at Mont Blanc and finish at the Matterhorn. On the way, pass the largest collection of snowy 4000m summits in the Alps: Mont Blanc, Grand Combin, the Weisshorn, the Zinalrothorn, the Dom, the Täschhorn, the Breithorn and the Matterhorn, to name a few.
The WHR is 206 km long and takes 10-14 days. The trekker crosses 12 mountain passes in two different countries: France and Switzerland.
Unspoilt and remote high mountain terrain: amazing glaciers, snow frosted summits, beautiful valleys and pastures, sparkling azure lakes, carpets of wild flowers and the soothing sound of cow bells. This trek should be on your hiking bucket list.
