IMPORTANT INFO:

  • Daily you will walk / ski for approx. 5 – 7 hours, the last day approx. 8 – 10 hours. Every day you will have to conquer from 800 – 1300 vertical meters therefore good fitness level is obligatory. Of course, the intermediate goals and routes will be customized to the group’s dynamics and weather/terrain conditions (snow conditions, avalanche danger).
  • If you wish you will have a chance to learn or repeat winter mountaineering skills – arresting a fall with an ice axe, walking with crampons and ice axe, avalanche rescue training, crevasses rescue skills, navigation, testing the stability of snowpack, mountain hazards and more.
  • In mountain huts, we have reserved accommodation with half board – dinner and breakfast. It is recommended to take with you some energy bars, dry fruits & nuts, chocolate, and drinks. You can also buy all these things in the huts, but the prices are higher than in the valley.
  • It is important that you have concluded medical insurance with the option of helicopter rescue that in case of accidents covers all your costs.
  • If you are missing any of the equipment you can contact us for a purchase advisory / rental issues.
  • In case of very bad weather forecast, high avalanche danger, or any other higher force we will cancel/relocate/postpone the tour for safety reasons.
  • »Haute route« is THE tour, the most amazing, spectacular, and popular ski touring traverse in the World! And that is for a good reason – you will walk across huge alpine glaciers with spectacular seracs and crevasses with scenic views on the highest alpine ridges and peaks, you will climb up slopes and gullies to reach saddles, you will ski endless slopes from cols (saddles), climb and ski from Pigne d’Arolla – routes the highest peak and on the last day you will ski the most amazing slopes from Col de Valpelline under Matterhorn’s north face all the way to Zermatt!
