A Stroll Through the Swiss & French Alps ( sneak peek )

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.
