Haute Route Chamonix-Zermatt

Vallée Blanche is a legendary descent between the famous granite towers above Chamonix. Take the cable car from Chamonix to the Aiguille du Midi and various exits from there. Beware of glacier cracks! From Mer de Glace to the train (Montevers station) you can take the cable car or get off with skins. In the middle of the descent, refreshment is possible in the Refuge du Requin. This descent is mainly panoramic as a skiing enjoyment...

The route from Bourg-Saint-Pierre to the Cabane Valsorey definitely transfers famous traverse haute route Chamonix Zermatt to Swiss territory. It is not too difficult to climb to the hut from the village. Pay attention to the avalanche danger on the last ascent to the hut on the southwest slope, especially on sunny days. It is therefore good to leave Bourg-St-Piere early in the morning.

One of the two variants of the 2nd day stage of the classic Haute Route Chamonix-Zermatt. From the hut Cabane Trient, descend briefly northwards, then a short climb to the saddle Col Escandies (2793 m). Complicated terrain from the saddle down, often with crampons and skis on a backpack. Then a long descent along the north-east slope through the Val d´Árpette to Champex. From there by bus to Orsiéres, it is good to take the bus at 12:58, in Orsieres change to the connection to Bourg St-Pierre (2:00 p.m.).
