The Haute Route - One of the Top 10 Hikes in the WORLD
This is the segment of the trip I am MOST excited about. It
starts at Mont Blanc (Chamonix, France) to Matterhorn (Zermatt Switzerland). We are starting out early in
the season, so we will be forced to cross a few glaciers and hope to god for
decent weather. Yeah, that's right....I said "GLACIERS". I’m freaked
out over it too. Hard to imagine, I"ll be strolling through grassy knolls, wildflowers,
cute little cows (moooo) and BOOM a fucking glacier in my way. Do I need to
pack an ice pick? Do we rope ourselves together so we can both fall to our
death in the same crevasse? I dunno...I’m just as confused as you are. I will certainly
blog on this once we get up there and I’m sliding my ass down a glacier yodeling all kinds of curse words.
Mont Blanc - The highest peak in Europe (15,781ft) START
Matterhorrn, the most beautiful peak in the Alps END POINT
112 Miles Long
Crosses 11 passes, gains more than 12,000m elevation
some cows along the way...Moooooo
