Itinerary

  1. Day 1

    Join the Haute Route and hike to Cabane Mont Fort (8,058 ft)

    Hiking
    1.5 hrs · 2mi · 853ft up
    Mountain hut
    Mixed dorm
    Dinner included
    Show Day 1 detail

    Make your way to Verbier's main gondola lift station, at the bottom of the MĂ©dran Gondola, to meet your host in the afternoon. Together with the rest of your group, catch the cable car up to Les Ruinettes, where you join the Haute Route on Stage 3 of the full route, at a point beyond the busier trails (which are shared with the Tour du Mont Blanc). You can read more about the trail in our guide to hiking the Walker’s Haute Route from Chamonix to Zermatt. Your first day of walking is a short one, to warm up the legs and ease yourself into life on the trail. You'll cross the grassy slopes of La Chaux, with great views of the Petit Combin, Grand Combin and Mont Fort. In under two hours, you'll reach the Cabane Mont Fort for your first night in an Alpine mountain refuge.

  2. Day 2

    Hike the Col de Prafleuri (9,800 ft)

    Hiking
    6-7 hrs · 9mi · 3248ft up · 2592ft down
    Mountain hut
    Mixed dorm
    All meals included
    Show Day 2 detail

    Today you venture into the rugged high mountains the 'Haute Route' is named for. Leaving behind the easy grassy slopes, pick up a rocky trail through the remote peaks found in this corner of the Alps. After a couple of steep climbs separated by the crystal clear Petit Mont Fort Lake, reach Col de Louvie in time for lunch. Descend steeply and carefully cross the otherworldly rocks of the 'Grand Desert', gradually ascending to Col de Prafleuri (9,800 ft). After a big day, tonight's cosy hut comes into sight (Cabane de Prafleuri) on the Letio d’Allùves Plateau below, reached via a short but steep technical descent.

    Day 3

    Lac des Dix and Col de Reidmatten

    Hiking
    6hrs · 11mi · 2592ft up · 4462ft down
    Hotel
    Twin share
    All meals included
    Show Day 3 detail

    Hike to Col des Roux for views over the impressive Grand Dixence Dam and descend to follow the trail along the lakeshore. Climb to the lower end of the Dix Glacier, where the final section demands careful navigation over the steep gradient and very rocky ground to the Col de Reidmatten. This is a highlight of trip and the tough climb up to the col will be well worth it for the views! Follow a gentler trail from the pass down to the picturesque alpine village of Arolla (6562ft) for the night.

  4. Day 4

    The big 13ers

    Hiking
    7-8 hrs · 10mi · 4921ft up · 3314ft down
    Hotel
    Twin share
    All meals included
    Show Day 4 detail

    After a short taxi ride to the village of La Sage, set off on one of the toughest days so far as you hike toward the high point at Col de Torrent, with spectacular views over the 13,000 ft peaks of the Alps. Descend to the Val de Moiry, passing the Lac de Moiry, where you'll stop for a well-deserved rest before continuing down the track to the Col de Sorebois. From there, take the gondola down to Zinal, where you’ll lay your head for the night.

  5. Day 5

    Col de Forcletta

    Hiking
    7 hrs · 11mi · 3675ft up · 3478ft down
    Hotel
    Mixed dorm
    All meals included
    Show Day 5 detail

    Wander through farms and meadows on a gentle trail overlooking neighboring villages, before ascending the Forcletta Pass (the boundary between the French-speaking and the Swiss-German speaking parts of this area). Descend into the rural Meid-Valley on an isolated path which leads to a guesthouse in the village of Gruben.

  6. Day 6

    Augstbord Pass

    Hiking
    6hrs · 9mi · 3675ft up · 3150ft down
    Guesthouse
    Twin share
    All meals included
    Show Day 6 detail

    Time for one of the most epic sections of the entire trip as you enter the Matterhorn Valley. Climb through sparse forest to the Augstbord Pass before descending into the Augstbordtal. Traverse a rugged trail built into a steep slope to the Jungtal. Ride the cable car from Jungu to reach the quintessentially Alpine village of St. Niklaus, where you'll check into a warm and cozy guesthouse.

    Day 7

    Finish the Haute Route in Zermatt

    Hiking
    6hrs · 10mi · 2953ft up · 2297ft down
    Breakfast and lunch included
    Show Day 7 detail

    Set off on your last day on the Haute Route by taking the local train from St. Niklaus a couple of stops to the village of Randa. From there begin your hike up the eastern side of the valley, on a steep switchback trail to connect to the Europaweg Trail, near the start of the legendary Charles Kuonen suspension bridge. At 1621ft it’s the longest suspension bridge for pedestrian use in the Alps. Stand in the middle of the crossing and take in the jaw-dropping panoramic mountain scenery. After the bridge, continue on the famous Europaweg, a trail cut into the mountainside (with a few exposed sections). After 3 miles of hiking, at Springelboden (7,247ft), you'll descend down a partially forested trail to the village of TĂ€sch. Follow a riverside trail up the valley all the way into Zermatt, finishing at the foot of the iconic Matterhorn.

Detailed Logistics

Transfers

Make your way to Verbier's main gondola lift station, at the bottom of the MĂ©dran Gondola, for 2:00 PM on Day 1. The easiest way to get to Verbier is to take the train from Geneva Airport to Le ChĂąble (2h 15m) at the bottom of the valley, and then the gondola (10 minutes) or public bus (25 minutes) from there to Verbier.

The trip ends at around 2:00 PM on Day 7 in Zermatt, Switzerland. Air travelers can take the train to the airport directly from Zermatt. We do recommend you stay the night in Zermatt (a completely car-free town) to celebrate the end of your trek, or you can head straight to the airport for a late flight: it takes 3.5 hours to reach Zurich-Kloten Airport (ZRH) and 4 hours to reach Geneva Airport (GVA).

Travel options

You can fly into Geneva Airport (GVA) which is approximately three hours from Verbier. From the airport there are good train connections to the start and finish of the trip.

For those who wish to avoid flying, Verbier is also accessible by train. For example, take the Eurostar from London to Paris and then connect to one of a number of direct lines or an overnight sleeper train from Paris to Geneva, then continue on to Le ChĂąble for Verbier. (London to Le ChĂąble is approximately 10 hours by train, with two changes).

Your return leg at the end of the trip can begin at Zermatt train station, where you'll find various onward train travel routes throughout Europe.

What is and isn't Included?

What's included

  • 7 days of guided trekking along sections of the Haute Route between Verbier and Zermatt

  • Experienced, English-speaking, IML-certified guides (1:12 guide to customer ratio)

  • 2 nights in rustic mountain huts
  • 4 nights in cozy guesthouses

All your meals are provided for the duration of the trip. This includes:

  • 6 tasty breakfasts
  • 6 picnic lunches
  • 6 hearty dinners

  • All required transfers by public transportation
  • Uplifts via gondola where required to rejoin the trail

  • Pillows and blankets are provided at the refuges

Where You'll Stay

Private room upgrades are not available on this trip due to the nature of the accommodation.

Hotel du Glacier, Haute Route

The Alps

Stay

The Alps

For three nights, you'll stay in simple guesthouses and B&Bs in twin-share rooms. For two nights, you'll stay in remote mountain huts (Cabane Mont Fort and Cabane du Prafleuri) in multi-share dormitories. In Gruben, you will stay in a traditional mountain hotel in mixed dorms, which feels somewhere between a hotel and a mountain hut.

Each accommodation is unique, but you can usually expect it to be simple, clean, and comfortable. In the mountain huts, groups typically sleep in mixed-sex dormitory rooms of up to 20 people, usually in bunk beds or single beds. They feature hot showers, running water, pillows and blankets, and a bar serving cold drinks. Most refuges also have outlets for charging your electronics, and some even have WiFi. Some refuges are more modern in style, others have a more traditional heritage, most are busy throughout the hiking season; it's the refuge's location and its remoteness that largely decides what comforts and conveniences are available. It's best to keep your expectations simple and enjoy the time on the trail to unplug from everyday life.

What You'll Eat

Breakfasts and dinners will be served at the refuges and guesthouses. Breakfasts always include coffee, bread, jelly, and butter. Depending on the refuge, they may also include orange juice, cereal, yogurt, fruit, cheese, and meats. Dinners are heart


Food and Dietary info

Breakfasts and dinners will be served at the refuges and guesthouses. Breakfasts always include coffee, bread, jelly, and butter. Depending on the refuge, they may also include orange juice, cereal, yogurt, fruit, cheese, and meats. Dinners are hearty and served in large portions – just what a hungry hiker needs! Typical meals include a soup appetizer, a main course of meat and veggies with a side of grains or pasta, and a dessert like vanilla dessert or creme brĂ»lĂ©e. Picnic lunches will be provided each day, featuring a large main item like a sandwich or wrap, a salad, and a selection of fruit, granola bars, chocolate, nuts, etc.

Vegetarian, vegan, and most other dietary requirements (including gluten-free) can be catered for with advanced notice. Just let your host know when reserving. While dietary needs are sent to each refuge with the group reservations, please consider that the mountain refuges will have a limited range of choice to offer guests due to their remote locations. People with very specific dietary requirements typically choose to also bring some of their own snacks with them, to ensure they have sufficient fuel for hiking up and down the beautiful mountain trails.

Optional Extras

Upgrades

Unfortunately, single room upgrades aren't available on this trip as some of the hotels are very small and have a limited number of rooms.

To request any extras, message your host via your Much Better Adventures account once you have booked your trip.

All extras must be paid before your trip starts.

Trip level explained

Level 6

Challenging-Tough

The Haute Route trail is, in places, technical and steep, making it most suitable for experienced hikers. Due to the terrain being more rugged and less frequently traveled than the Tour du Mont Blanc, it is considered the next step up from the comparable seven-day Tour du Mont Blanc in a Week and is rated as more difficult than this trip. You'll need to be able to hike 9–12 miles on mountain trails, with as much as 3,281ft+ of elevation gain and descent each day, for multiple days in a row. Doing some practice hikes before the trip with your pack and boots is strongly recommended to help you prepare for this adventure!

What will I need to carry?

You will be carrying your own 30-50 liter backpack between the refuges, with everything you need for the full trek. So don't overpack; a lighter pack will be more enjoyable, but also don't skip the essentials and risk getting caught out in bad weather. It's a good idea to do some hiking before the trip so you are comfortable with the gear you plan to bring on the trek. Check out our gear list section for the basics to consider putting in your backpack.

High altitude (over 8,200 ft): factors to consider

This trip visits locations at or above 8,200ft, where some people may experience symptoms of Altitude Sickness, also known as Acute Mountain Sickness (AMS).

Previous experience at altitude doesn’t guarantee the same response again – your body can react differently on each trip. However, having been at altitude before is still valuable: it gives you a better understanding of how your body might respond, what symptoms to look out for, and how to manage your pace and energy levels.

Your guide is trained to manage the risk of altitude sickness by controlling the rate of ascent, monitoring group well-being, and responding appropriately if anyone feels unwell.

Before booking, we recommend considering your personal health, particularly if you have any pre-existing conditions, and consulting a medical professional if you’re unsure. Arriving early to allow your body to acclimatize can also make a big difference.

Your travel insurance must cover the maximum altitude reached on this trip and include emergency evacuation.

Remote environment: factors to consider

Some parts of this trip take place in areas where access to medical facilities and emergency services may be limited. This may mean that reaching medical care takes longer than you might normally expect, or that local medical facilities have fewer resources than those you may be used to at home.

If someone becomes unwell or injured, initial treatment may be provided locally before onward travel to a larger hospital or city for further care. Evacuation could involve changing the planned route or using different forms of transportation to reach appropriate medical facilities. Mobile phone coverage may also be intermittent in some locations.

Your guide is trained to manage situations in remote environments and will monitor the group and respond appropriately if any issues arise. However, it’s important that you let your guide know straight away if you feel unwell or experience any health concerns during the trip.

Before booking, consider your personal health and ability to travel in locations where access to medical care may be delayed. If you have any pre-existing medical conditions or concerns, we recommend seeking advice from a medical professional and discussing them with your host before traveling.

All travelers must have suitable travel insurance that covers the activities included in the trip and emergency medical evacuation if required.

    Fantastic week of hiking the iconic Haute Route. Highly recommend this shortened route from Vierbier to Zermatt, Ollie the guide was great - good balance of keeping everyone informed, safe and fed! Helping everyone achieve this challenge. Extremely blessed with the group on my trek, all supper friendly. likeminded and great fun to be with.

  • Mike B.

    The planning of the trip was impeccable making each day interesting and manageable in an unhurried manner. The guide was always switched on and was both knowledgeable and approachable for information. The group worked very well and contained a kaleidoscope of varied life experiences which made walking a pleasure as there was much to discuss and entertain. Accomodation is important as sleep improves the whole experience and of course access to privacy is ideal but not always achievable on such a walk. We had a mixture of accomodation with 2 nights which were cramped in multiple bed dorms. Obviously reducing this where possible would lead to a better overall experience but would of course co. e at a cost. That is a business decision but at my age I am unlikely to baulk at the idea of a higher price in return for better accomodation. I can only speak personally but for me a very basic clean twin room with or without ensuite would ideally be the lowest level of accommodation when I am on holiday. If anything I prefer something with a little character and a space to chat with the group and others. Many thanks for you and yoyr team working to create amd maintain this experience it was a very interesting and worthwhile experience.

  • ashley l.

    WOW! Another amazing trip with MBA. The Haute route was such an amazing experience with the most gorgeous scenery. The small group of 7 people was amazing and the week was filled with plenty of laughs to get us through the tough climbs! David our host was great and very knowledgeable on the local area. He made sure he kept us all safe and planned some cool alternative routes when weather prevented us getting as high in the mountains. In love with Switzerland after this trip 🇹🇭😍 Thanks MBA for another unforgettable experience. !

What to Pack

Backpack with hiking gear laid out

Know before you go! Some stuff we'll provide, other things you'll need to bring.

Kit List

What do I need to bring?

You'll be carrying all you need for the seven-day trip on your back, so don't overpack but also don't skip the essentials. Hiking in the Alps even in the peak of summer you can have very mixed conditions, both hot and cold, especially when climbing over the high mountain passes.

GEAR

  • 30-50L backpack with waist belt (plus a rain cover)
  • A pack liner or dry bag is also good protection in case of rain
  • Sleeping bag liner (cotton or silk). This is very important as it's a mandatory requirement at the mountain refuges. Pillows and blankets are provided by the refuges.
  • Hiking poles (strongly recommended)
  • Sunglasses and sunscreen (SPF 50+ recommended due to altitude)
  • Preferred snacks for the trail
  • Hydration/Electrolyte tablets
  • 2-liter water bottle(s)
  • Hand sanitizer gel
  • Toiletries and personal first-aid kit items
  • Towel
  • Swimsuit
  • Earplugs and eye mask (recommended)
  • Cash (CHF) for drinks, snacks along the trail, tips etc.
  • Plug adapter and/or battery pack to charge electrical devices (note Switzerland uses a different standard to the rest of Europe)
  • Flashlight

CLOTHES

  • Waterproof jacket (with hood) and waterproof pants
  • Primaloft or down jacket
  • Fleece or merino pullover or sweater
  • Synthetic or merino wool base layers
  • Warm hat and gloves (really important in mixed weather conditions)
  • Sunhat or cap
  • Synthetic shirts and pants (zip-off preferable) for hiking
  • Comfortable shirt and pants for the refuges
  • 2+ pairs of hiking socks, wool or synthetic
  • Sturdy hiking boots or shoes (worn in)
  • Comfortable, light shoes for around the refuge

FAQs

As you're meeting your guide at MĂ©dran Gondola Station in Verbier, your host is unable to offer a luggage storage option. However, the ever-reliable Swiss Rail does have an inexpensive service offering luggage transport from Geneva to Zermatt from as little as 12 CHF. This would allow you to leave your main luggage at Geneva train station, do the trip with just your hiking backpack, and then conveniently collect your main luggage at Zermatt station at the end. Visit the Swiss Federal Railways (SBB) website for more details. Feel free to ask your host any packing-related questions via your reservation pre-departure. You'll be carrying your own gear during the trek, so we recommend packing light but not skimping on the essentials. Our Gear List section provides a good starting point on what to pack for this trip.

Drinking water is available at each accommodation, and there are also places to refill on the trail most days. You may want to carry a portable water filter or filter bottle for when filling up on the trail. The guide will advise how much to carry each day.

Occasionally things might not go to plan due to snow or landslides blocking parts of the route or bad weather forcing a change. Your host will keep you up to date with local trail and weather conditions and has planned alternative lower routes as a contingency. Public transportation can also be used to avoid higher sections of the trail if required.

For this itinerary there is 1 guide to 10 hikers. The guides this host works with are all International Mountain Leader certified (as a minimum), First Aid trained and are highly experienced at leading groups in the Alps.

Summer in the Alps is generally warm and fair, but the weather can change very quickly in the high mountains, bringing cold rain and wind. Average temperatures range from 43 to 79°F. It rains roughly half of the days each month, but storms generally pass through quickly. Even in the peak of summer you can have very mixed conditions, especially when climbing over the high mountain passes above 6,500 ft. Heatwaves have also been a feature of recent European summers. Our gear list is intended to guide you on what to pack for this trip.

We partner with the World Land Trust to ensure this trip achieves Net-Zero emissions. We also support their Buy an Acre program, helping local communities to buy and protect natural habitats in perpetuity.

What's the number?
It works out on average at 102kg of CO2 emissions per person, including all local transport, accommodation, food, activities, guides, staff and office operations.

The only thing it doesn’t include right now is flights and travel to the destination. We do make an overall estimate across all our customers separately, but as we don’t book flights, have customers from all corners of the world, and no way of reliably knowing their travel plans, we simply can’t include an individual number in the figure on display here. We’ve got a goal to fix that, so that when you book, there is a way to measure and mitigate the carbon emitted by your flight too.

But what does the number mean?
Yep, hard to picture eh? To give you an idea:

  • Driving 1000 miles/1609km would be approximately 281kg of CO2 in an average car (or 140.5kg per person, if there were two of you in it).
  • A return economy class flight between London and New York would be approximately 1619kg (1.66 tonnes) per person.
  • 10 trees in a temperate forest are estimated to remove approximately 250kg of CO2 from the air in a period of 5-10 years.

What are we doing about it?
Our trips are relatively low-carbon by design, and we're working with all our hosts to develop long term carbon reduction plans. We partner with the World Land Trust to ensure this trip achieves Net-Zero emissions. We also support their Buy an Acre programme, helping local communities to buy and protect natural habitats in perpetuity, ensuring the protection of the reserve and its wildlife.

Want to know more?
Amazingly, no international travel company has ever publicly published their carbon measurements before, as far as we know. We believe that must change, quickly. So we’re openly sharing the method we used in the hope that other companies will be able to more easily follow suit and build on what we've done so far. You'll find it all here.
