Best of Mont Blanc to the Matter

Best of Mont Blanc to the Matter Overview

One of Europe's great Alpine mountain walks in a one week holiday

A fantastic one-week walking holiday adventure in the Alps from Chamonix in France to Zermatt in Switzerland. Another in our series of 'The Best Of' Alpine walking routes, we now offer what is known as the 'Walker's Haute Route' from Mont Blanc to the Matterhorn within a 8-day holiday. Using short transfers to by-pass the least interesting sections of this classic route and by avoiding the technical section of the Europaweg, we have made these incredibly scenic mountain trails available to non-alpinists who wish to trek amongst beautiful Alpine scenery within just one week's leave. This superb alpine trekking holiday takes a linear route across the spine of the European Alps and links together the famous mountaineering towns of Chamonix and Zermatt. Trekking from France into the beautiful Swiss canton of Valais, passing spectacularly beneath 10 of the 12 highest peaks in the Alps, we are treated to amazing views of Mont Blanc and the Matterhorn. Traversing several high and challenging passes, we enjoy mountain walking in the Alps at its most delightful. Lower down, we pass through verdant Alpine valleys with cascading streams, pretty hamlets and flower-strewn meadows. Overnight accommodation on this great trekking holiday adventure in the Alps is provided in a variety of small hotels, atmospheric gites and spectacularly located Alpine mountain refuges. Led by English guides and fully supported, with access to luggage on all but 2 nights, this holiday offers nothing less than the best of the best in the Alps.
