Haute Route Trek
Day 4 "Haute Route" trek.
We made our way on a lofty traverse via the Sentier des Chamois to the Col du Termin.
We then continued to the rocky Col de Louvie and traversed below the Grand Desert Glacier where we passed a series of small tarns before ascending once more to the Col de Prafleuri and descending
steeply to the Cabane de Prafleuri.
My son and I undertook one of the most challenging treks, the Haute Route.
It was a rigorous 10 day trek from the Chamonix Valley in France to Zermatt in Switzerland, 180 kilometers, 11 high mountain cols with approx. 12,000 meters of ascent.
This is a tougher trek than the Tour du Mont Blanc.
Trek Grade 4: Demanding, an excellent level of fitness and stamina required for big mountain days with continued and substantial height gain and descent of over + or -1500m per day plus sustained trekking over distance for 10 days.
I'm ready for another trek, I love the mountains so much. 💗
