The Haute Route is a challenging and beautiful route through the European Alps. The route beings in Chamonix, France and ends in Zermatt, Switzerland.

We picked up the trail in Verbier and hiked to Zermatt due to time constraints. Below are the links to our blog posts, in order, for your reading pleasure.
