The Haute route is one of the most popular multi-day backcountry ski tours, which connects the birthplace of alpinism and the home of Mont Blanc in Chamonix, France to the distinct and daunting figure of the Matterhorn in Zermatt, Switzerland. The route is about 75 miles and 20,000 feet typically done over 7-8 days, covering stunning landscapes through the high Alps and sleeping at beautifully perched backcountry huts.
