Trekking Chamonix to Zermatt: The Classic Walker's Haute Route [Paperback]

Guidebook to the Walker’s Haute Route, a classic 140-mile (225km) trek from Chamonix to Zermatt, linking Mont Blanc and the Matterhorn – the most spectacular peaks in France and Switzerland.

• Taking in 11 passes and more than 14,000m of ascent, the route can be walked in 12 to 14 days, staying at mountain huts
