Description

This Walker's Haute Route Guidebook describes the 206km trek between Chamonix in France and Zermatt in Switzerland, the two most famous mountain towns in the Alps. Starting at Mont Blanc, and finishing at the Matterhorn, the route passes the largest collection of snowy 4000m summits in the Alps: Mont Blanc, Grand Combin, the Weisshorn, the Zinalrothorn, the Dom, the Taschhorn, the Breithorn and the Matterhorn, to name a few.
