For most people familiar with ski touring, there is no more well-known ski tour than the Haute Route, connecting the iconic ski towns of Chamonix, France and Zermatt, Switzerland. Each spring, Skyward Mountaineering and IFMGA guide, Steven Van Sickle travels to the Alps to lead this trip with seven days of world class skiing from the mighty Mont Blanc to the iconic Matterhorn. This trip is ski touring at its best - comfortable huts, delicious food, European amenities and excellent skiing in one of the world’s most scenic mountain settings. The Haute Route is one of the world’s finest ski traverses and should be on every backcountry skier's bucket list, it is a true journey that any dedicated backcountry skier wouldn’t want to miss.

Our trip includes seven days of skiing including a prep day in Chamonix on the famous Vallee Blanche, world class accommodations and food in six different huts between Chamonix and Zermatt.
