Spectacular pictures of our Haute Route trek in Switzerland in summer 2015. Our 125 mile route follows the classic trek across the Swiss Alps starting in Chamonix, France at the base of Mont Blanc, Western Europe’s Highest Peak and concluding in Zermatt, Switzerland at the base of the Matterhorn, the world’s most recognizable and stunningly beautiful peak! The route traverses below the summits of 10 out the 12 highest peaks in the Alps. Each day we ascended formidable mountain passes at 9,500 feet and found ourselves in a wonderland of snow-capped Alps rising out of spectacular valleys, delightful Swiss villages and remote hamlets, flower meadows and fragrant forests, icy streams and majestic glaciers!

Amazing and inspiring pictures, RollingRock! Dream trip. Hoping to do the Eastern Half from Arolla to Zermatt this summer or next.
 
A couple of observations:

You guys NEVER look tired!

They know how to build amazing huts in Europe.

The Alps, for all the population pressure, are still magnificent.

Thanks for the GREAT trip report.
