► ABOUT THIS ADVENTURE
In June 2026, I set out from Chamonix to hike the Haute Route across the Alps to Zermatt. I completed the journey in 12 days, with around 10 full days of hiking, often covering close to 20 miles (32 km) and 7,000 ft (2,100 m) of climbing a day. I deliberately chose early June, when the mountain huts were still closed and the high passes were largely untouched and covered in snow. Starting beneath Mont Blanc in Chamonix, I crossed the Aiguilles Rouges, Col de Balme and Fenêtre d’Arpette, before taking a more remote variation past the Corbassière Glacier and over Col des Avouillons. From Lac de Louvie, I continued through the snow-covered Grand Désert and crossed Col de Louvie and Col de Prafleuri before reaching Les Haudères for a resupply and to recharge my batteries. The second half took me over Col du Tsaté to the Moiry Glacier and Cabane de Moiry, then across Col de Sorebois to Zinal, Forcletta to Gruben and Augstbordpass toward St. Niklaus. After one final high crossing, I descended into Zermatt on day 12, finishing the Haute Route beneath the Matterhorn.
