Trek the classic 'Haute Route' from France to Switzerland
Start at the campsite in Les Bossons. Wonderful views from the campsite of Mont Blanc and the Bossons glacier, especially at sunset. In theafternoon there is an introductory briefing by the trek crew.Campsite: Camping Les Marmottes, Les Bossons
This is a limbering up day and there are several good walks nearby. Alternatively, take the cable car (optional) to the Aiguille du Midi for outstanding close-up views of Mont Blanc, the Chamonix Valley and the surrounding peaks. Campsite: Camping Les Marmottes, Les Bossons
From Les Bossons (1,012m/3,320ft) we have a short bus journey to Chamonix from where we walk to Les Praz and take the cable car to La Flégère (1,860m/6,100ft). The trail today is named the 'Grand Balcon' and is on the opposite side of the valley from Mont Blanc, affording excellent views of the whole massif lying to our south. Initially we contour and then climb to reach the high point of the day, Lac Blanc (2,352m/7,715ft). The trail descends and then contours high above the valley before dropping steeply to the hamlet of Les Frasserands (1,371m/4,500ft), from where we take a scenic valley train back to our campsite. In the afternoon there is a very short section of ladders/steep steps with handrails to descend.8 hours walking. 500m/1,640ft up, 980m/3,220ft downCampsite: Camping Les Marmottes, Les Bossons
Distance in Km: 16
Distance in Miles: 10
After a scenic train ride up the valley to Les Frasserands, we begin by climbing steeply to the Aiguillette de Posettes (2,201m/7,200ft), descend a little and then ascend towards the Col de Balme (2,191m/7,190ft) where we follow one of the paths across the border from France to Switzerland. Excellent views all morning of Aiguille d'Argentière and Aiguille du Tour and its glacier. After lunch we descend to the small hamlet of Trient (1,296m/4,250ft). Good views of the Trient Glacier. 7.5 hours walking. 970m/3,200ft up, 1,060m/3,466ft downCampsite: Basic camping, near Trient
Distance in Km: 15
Distance in Miles: 9
In good weather we take the trail adjacent to the Trient Glacier to cross a high, rocky pass known as Fenêtre d'Arpette (2,665m/8,740ft) before descending steeply into the Arpette Valley (1,627m/5,340ft) and down to our campsite in Champex (1,486m/4,880ft). In poor weather we would take the lower trail, which climbs first to the Col de Forclaz (1,527m/5,010ft) from where we can look down into the Rhone valley. The Swiss town of Martigny is in sight far below, as we follow the 'Bovine route' to Champex-Lac. 9 hours walking, 1,350m/4,430ft up, 1,200m/3,950ft downCampsite: Camping Les Rocailles, Champex Lac
Distance in Km: 13
Distance in Miles: 8
From Champex we walk down to Sembrancher (717m/2,350ft) then travel by train and cable car to the ski resort of Verbier (1,490m/4,880ft) and then onwards to Ruinettes. (2,200m/7,260ft). Our afternoon walk starts on a broad easy trail with views of the Grand Combin and of the Mont Blanc Massif in the distance. The trail than narrows and steepens and we traverse around the southern flank of the Bec des Rosses to Col Termin (2,652m/8,750ft) before descending to Lac de Louvie and our overnight stay at the Cabane de Louvie (2,214m/7,300ft).The path today is quite committing and if the weather is poor, or there are problems with the cables cars, or snow on the path we may need to take an alternative route from Sembrancher. We travel by train and bus up valley to Fionnay (1,495m/4,880ft). From the here we ascend steeply through dramatic open hillside to reach our first mountain hut, the Cabane de Louvie (2,242m /7,400ft) on the shores of the Lac de Louvie (a very scenic spot!) from where we have great views of the Grand Combin.Mountain huts have shared dormitory style accommodation with basic toilet and washing facilities only. The support vehicle is unable to reach this hut so we need to do some light backpacking until we re-join it in two days’ time. 8 hours walking, 550m/1,800ft up, 1,180m/3,900ft downMountain hut: Cabane de Louvie
Distance in Km: 19
Distance in Miles: 12
A dramatic day with two passes to cross. We start with scenic traverse around the shores of lac de Louvie before a reasonably steep accent to our first col, Col de Louvie (2,921m/9,580ft) and onwards towards the Grand Désert, a rocky section of glacial moraine. If we're lucky we may spot herds of Ibex. We pass by small tarns fed by the outflows of the glacier and ascend for our second pass the Col Prafleuri (2,987m/9,800ft) - the highest col on the route - with views of the Rosablanche and Mont Blanc de Cheilon. It is then only a short descent to the Cabane Prafleuri (2,624m/8,600ft). Again the support vehicle will be unable to reach us so we will be doing light backpacking to this remote mountain hut.8 hours walking, 1,000m/3,300ft up, 550m/1,800ft downMountain hut: Cabane Prafleuri, near Lac Dix
Distance in Km: 10
Distance in Miles: 6
Our route today starts with a short climb to cross the Col de Roux (2,804m/9,200ft). We descend across large boulders to Lac Dix (2,364m/7,750ft) and walk around its shoreline before climbing again above the glacier Dix, through meadows, which during the summer are quite often filled with edelweiss, to make a steep ascent on loose scree to the Col du Reidmatten (2,919m/9,570ft), or more likely the ladders of Pas des Chèvre (2,855m/2,920ft). The ladders have been recently renovated and now provide an easier route over the ridge and consist of four sturdy near-vertical ladders divided by solid metal gantries. Technically it is not hard but it is certainly airy and not suitable for vertigo suffers. Excellent views of the Pigne d'Arolla, Mont Collon and possibly the Matterhorn in the distance. Finally, a long descent brings us to the small and charming village of Arolla (1,998m/6,550ft), from where we catch a bus to Les Haudères (1,436m/4,710ft). Here we are met by the support vehicle. 9 hours walking, 675m/2,215ft up, 1330m/4,360ft downCampsite: Camping Molignon, Les Haudères
Distance in Km: 16
Distance in Miles: 10
A free day to relax. The twin villages of Les Haudères and Evolène lie in the most picturesque part of the Val de Hérens and there are many day walks in the area if you feel the need for a little more exercise. Alternatively the scenic town of Sion with its medieval quarter and many cafes and restaurants is an easy bus ride away.Campsite: Camping Molignon, Les Haudères
Today we have a big climb to reach our col where we’ll be rewarded with stunning views. We climb first to Villa (1,730m/5,675ft) then on to cross the Col Torrent (2,919m/9,575ft) and enjoy vast mountain views; the Pigne d'Arolla, the Grand Combin, the Weisshorn, and make a long descent past Lac de Moiry (2,249m/7,380ft) to the woods above the picture postcard village of Grimentz (1,572m/5,150ft). 9 hours walking, 1,510m/4,950ft up, 1,290m/4,230ft downCampsite: Wild camping, Grimentz
Distance in Km: 19
Distance in Miles: 12
A long day that starts with a gentle walk through woods to reach the valley bottom at Mottec (1,556m/5,100ft). From here there is a short but steep climb to join the main trail at a higher level with fine views of the Matterhorn and Ober Gabelhorn. The climb continues to today's col, the Forcletta (2,874m/9,426ft) where we enter German-speaking Switzerland. We have views back to Grand Combin and possibly Mont Blanc as well. Descend, with views of the Weisshorn to the southeast, to the Turtman Valley and Gruben (1,822m/5,975ft). This is the longest walking day. As there is no campsite in the Gruben valley we stay in dormitories in a local auberge and our bags are brought up by the support vehicle.9 hours walking, 1,345m/4,420ft up, 1,035m/3,400ft downHotel: Schwarzhorn (basic hotel), Gruben
Distance in Km: 21
Distance in Miles: 13
We climb again to cross the Augstbord pass (2,894m/9,490ft) with good views of the Weisshorn and the 'Dom' and join the main Zermatt Valley high on its western side. We descend to cross the Emdbach and soon after get our first views of the Zermatt Valley plus the Weisshorn, Kleine Matterhorn and Taschorn. Descend to Jungu (1,955m/6,410ft) and on to St. Niklaus (1,127m/3,700ft) either by walking or by an optional cable car, from where we travel by train or taxi to our last camp at Randa (1,439m/4,720ft). 8 hours walking, 1,070m – 3,500ft up, 1,790m – 5,870ft down (less 830m – 2,710ft descent if taking optional Jungu cable car)Campsite: Camping Attermenzen, Randa
Distance in Km: 16
Distance in Miles: 10
For our final day of trekking we walk directly from the campsite to the village of Täsch before ascending up to the Europaweg, a wonderful contouring path with spectacular views of the Matterhorn. Rising above the treeline and into a wild rocky landscape we pass by Stellisee (a mountain lake and perfect spot to snap reflected views of the Matterhorn) and onwards to the mountain hut Fluhalp at 2,606m/8,550ft. From here we have a long decent to Zermatt passing through old mountain hamlets with more stunning photo opportunities of the Matterhorn.8 hours walking, 1,300m/4,270ft up, 1,010m/3,310ft downCampsite: Camping Attermenzen, Randa
Distance in Km: 20
Distance in Miles: 12
From our camp near Randa it is a short train or minibus trip to Zermatt. Zermatt is an ideal place for a free day with lots of opportunities for short or long walks or one can simply relax in town. There are also many excursions such as the mountain cog railway to Gornergrat for spectacular views of the Gorner Glacier and Monte Rosa or perhaps the most spectacular the cable car ascent to Kleine Matterhorn.Campsite: Camping Attermenzen, Randa
End at the Campsite near Randa. At the end of your holiday the group departure transfer will arrive at Geneva Airport at approx. 11.00. The earliest a train could arrive is approximately 10.00 (although timings can change) and this would also mean very early start and a short taxi ride to the train station. Taxis directly to Geneva airport are very expensive. Please ensure that your return flight is late enough in the day to allow yourself time to arrive at the airport.
11 nights camping, mostly in good campsites with hot showers; occasional wild
camps; 2 mountain huts; 1 village inn (dormitory style)10 days point-to-point
walking; 3 days light backpackingVehicle support and dedicated camp support
leader throughoutAltitude maximum 2,965m, average 1,525m
All breakfasts, 10 picnic lunches and 12 dinners are included in this trip.
On eight nights we take our evening meal in camp and on four nights we take
our evening meal in a nearby local restaurant or it is prepared for us by the
hut or inn. The restaurant and hut/inn meals, which are prepared for us, are
usually arranged as a 'menu' for the whole group and as they are based on
special negotiations made by us represent better value than eating
independently. On free days 9 and 14 dinner is not included and needs to be
bought locally. Please note that should the times of flights change to arrive
earlier, or depart later, additional meals will not be included. Please also
note that no refund will be given for meals not taken or taken other than
where designated.Typical Meals Breakfast: Will usually consist of coffee,
tea, cereal, yoghurt, fresh fruit, bread, jam when in camp or in mountain
huts; and coffee, tea, or hot chocolate, bread and jam when in mountain
inns.Lunch: Will normally include bread, cold meat, cheese, sometimes boiled
eggs or tinned fish, fresh salad vegetables and fresh fruit.Evening
meal: Generally consists of a first course of soup or salad or other savoury
dish, a main course of meat or fish with one or two vegetables or rice or
pasta, a dessert course. Although tasty and nutritious the style of menu in
restaurants in this part of Europe often lack in variety or quantity of
accompanying fresh vegetables compared to menus we may be used to in the UK.
The meals are prepared as a set menu for the whole group. Unfortunately there
is limited flexibility to change the menu for individuals. Drinks are not
included in the price of evening meals.Vegetarians: We happily cater for
vegetarians but please inform us at the time of booking. If you have a vegan
diet we recommend that you bring supplementary food and should expect that
the variety of food may be limited whilst on this trip. As this kind of diet
is relatively uncommon in this region it is difficult for our camping staff
to get suitable produce, as well as being restricted to the number of
different dietary requirements they can cater for.If you take a vegan diet
you should expect that variety of food may be limited whilst on this trip. As
this kind of diet is relatively uncommon in this region we cannot guarantee
that the hotels and restaurants will provide meals that have the necessary
variety to be considered satisfying when on a more restricted diet.

This trip is graded Activity Level 5 - Challenging and some of the days are
indeed challenging with up to 1,600m of ascent and on other days similar
descents. On some days when we cross glacial moraine the terrain is rough and
loose underfoot. There are also some steep sections with chains and ladders
that are technically simple but not suitable for anyone who suffers from
vertigo. The cumulated fatigue of hard trekking for two weeks should not be
underestimated. As this is a group holiday you need to be confident that your
fitness will allow you to enjoyably walk at a consistent and steady pace that
matches the group average, therefore allowing the group to finish the day at
a reasonable time. You will also enjoy the trek a great deal more if your
fitness allows you to walk the route in relative ease. We will be walking on
mountain paths throughout and this trip is not advised for severe vertigo
sufferers.There is one qualified International Mountain Leader (IML) that
accompanies the group throughout and it is their decision if you will be able
to accompany the group on any particular day. For safety reasons the group
leader may also change their walking style from one where everyone walks at
their own pace to one where the group walks together at the speed of the
slowest, depending on the conditions, weather and visibility. This scenery on
this trip is stunning and may well be the best walking you have ever done,
but it is important to be prepared and have a high level of walking fitness
and stamina.Whilst camping the support leader will erect your tent but in the
morning you will be expected to pack away your own tent (these are modern pop
up style tents that are very easy and quick to fold away and pack) and the
whole group generally helps to load the support vehicle on the days when we
move camp. After breakfast and on the nights when we eat in camp you should
expect to help with the washing up.If you are unable to walk during the
itinerary and want to opt out of a day, please take note that this can
sometimes be a little tricky dependent on where on the route you are. To
reach the next point you will need to take a public bus or train (which run
at limited times) or taxi (which can be expensive when in a more remote
location). Our support vehicle is not suitable for taking passengers so
please be aware of this when deciding to book this trip.All ascents, descents
and walking distances listed below are approximates. We have decided the most
accurate method is to map the routes carefully using google earth. That said
it is impossible to obtain a completely true figure of the distances walked.
Regarding GPS - due to the inherent inaccuracies of defining an exact
waypoint with a GPS and the cumulative overall inaccuracy this causes, you
may find that our distances and GPS distances you obtain on trek with your
personal GPS/phone, may differ by quite a margin. Timings stated include
lunch and photo stops and will vary depending on the pace of your
group.Download our Fitness Training Guide for more information on our
Activity Levels.If you have any concerns about your suitability for this trip
or questions regarding the grading, please do not hesitate to
contact us.Please note: On this trip it is essential to have helicopter
evacuation cover within your travel insurance.
Camping, Mountain Huts & Village InnThere are 11 nights camping, 2 nights in mountain huts and 1 night in a
village inn. The campsites are mainly comfortable and modern with hot
showers and electricity to recharge batteries etc. Many have a bar and WiFi
and a lounge or sitting area to relax in. We provide a large communal tent
(if we do not use the campsites communal area) where we eat at tables with
benches and have an unlimited tea and coffee station, camp bar and some more
relaxing seating such as inflatable sofas. The campsite are in stunning
settings and sharing an after trek drink with newly made friends as the sun
sets over a glaciated mountain vista is the perfect way to enjoy the great
outdoors.Accompanying you throughout the trek is a dedicated camp support
leader who will take care of all the logistics and catering. Your tent will
be put up for you each night. In the morning you will be asked to take your
own tent down, put your bag in the back of the van and wash up your own
personal breakfast dish. On four nights out of fourteen you will be asked to
join a washing team and help with the dishes of that night. A 20 minute job.
Otherwise you are free to relax and your time is your own.You will spend 11
nights camping in roomy 3 person tents, but with a maximum of 2 people per
tent. We use modern dome tents incorporating a 210 cm x 210 cm inner tent
with sewn in ground sheet and a supplementary 230 cm x 70 cm covered porch
that is an ideal place to leave your walking boots and poles etc. The tents
are completely waterproof and packing them away should take no more than 3 to
4 minutes each morning. Single tents are available for a small additional
cost as are camping mats and sleeping bags with liner and pillow. Our camping
mats are a full length air and foam filled variety which are comfortable to
sleep on and provide excellent insulation from the ground. Our sleeping
bags have a synthetic filling, as opposed to feathers, with a 3/4 length zip
and are rated for good warmth. All our equipment is bought with both comfort
and practicality in mind and we hope represents a higher quality than most
individuals would buy for themselves. Two remote campsite are a little more
basic than average and do not have showers. Thermal matress hire: £32 -
please request in advance with your sales agent.Sleeping bag hire, pillow and
liner: £63 - please request in advance with your sales agent.Single tent
hire: From £120 - please request in advance with your sales agent.
We provide a qualified International Mountain Leader to escort the group on
each walking day. Our walking leaders are true mountain professionals as well
as being skilled group leaders. This not only helps to assure safety on the
mountain but also the benefit that your leader has experience and knowledge
of wider mountain environment such as flora and fauna, geology, weather and
local customs. Our support leaders are also vital members of the team and
insure that the camp is set up and ready when you walk off the hill (wherever
practically possible) and hot, tasty and nutritious food is served.

mountain ranges create their own weather patterns and the Alps are no
exception. It can and does rain and especially on the high passes it can be
surprisingly cold at times. Expected daytime temperatures are in the range of
15 to 25ºC in the valleys (although it can sometimes reach 30ºC in
July/August), 5 to 15ºC on the passes (though it will feel colder if wet and
windy) and 5 to 15ºC in the valley at night; possibly a little lower early
and late in the season. There is always the possibility of lying snow,
especially in the early season, and snowfall even in August and September
when we may find new snow on the passes. Please be aware that on late season
treks (September) the days are shorter and we will need to make early starts
to make the most of the available daylights hours.
