Last weekend was the first opening day for the huts on the Haute Route ski tour from Chamonix to Zermatt, and so this week was the first Haute Route group of the season. We are delighted to report that all our group successfully completed the tour, and they had great weather throughout. The sunny conditions did make some sections a bit icy, but that’s the pay off for the fantastic views they had. A big thank you to Filippo who guided the group, who did a superb job finding the best lines to ski.
