Arolla to Zermatt Alpine Trek 2008







I spent last week out in the Swiss Alps leading 5 clients on the Walkers Haute Route from Arolla to Zermatt. The trek averages 12km a day with height gain of about 1400m per day on average crossing some spectacular high mountain passes and giving views as far afield as Mont Blanc, The Matterhorn and the Bernese Oberland, often all in the same day. We had a week of beautiful sunshine and despite some impressive blisters all did really well and completed the trek. Thanks to Roger, Gabrielle, Rob, Sandra and Josh for a great week.
