Click for - Chamonix to Zermatt.
A guide to the classic Chamonix to Zermatt trek, from Mont Blanc to the
Matterhorn, in the northern slopes of the Pennines Alps, described in 14
stages. In two weeks of mountain travel you will see the greatest
collection of 4000 metre peaks in the Alps
and visit some of the most spectacular valleys. You will discover
delightful villages and remote hamlets, wander flower meadows and
forests, skirt exquisite tarns that turn mountains on their heads, and
clamber beside glaciers. The way intrudes on lonely stone-filled
corries, with marmots along the boulders and ibex on the heights, and
provides a surprise around every corner. The route crosses 11 passes,
gains more than 12,000 metres in height and is a strong contender for
the title of Most Beautiful Walk in Europe. This
new edition has been thoroughly updated, and now includes the exciting
two-day Europaweg - a true high-level path that carries the Haute Route
way above the Mattertal and into Zermatt - a worthy conclusion to a
great trek.
