Quatrième de couverture

The Haute Route, the world's most famous ski traverse. This unforgettable one-week ski tour across the glaciers and high passes between Chamonix and Zermatt takes skiers through some of the most prestigious ranges of the Alps.

As well as providing step-by-step descriptions of all the stages, this is the first guidebook to include photo-diagrams for every section of the Haute Route. In addition, the introduction contains a wealth of practical advice (preparation, strategy, equipment, practical information, huts, history) that underlines the alpine nature of the traverse. Detailed descriptions are given for four variants of the Haute Route :

  • Classic Haute_Route : the usual route, described in seven stages,
  • Historic Haute Route : via the famous Plateau du Couloir and the Col du Sonadon, seven stages,
  • Purist's Haute Route : avoiding ail motorized transport and passing via the Col du Grand Saint-Bernard, described in eight stages,
  • Reverse Haute Route : Zermatt > Chamonix seeking out the best descents, six stages.
