Here is a photo from our first Haute Route ski tour group of this year, with some of the team on the summit of the Tête Blanche, with the Matterhorn behind them. They were guided by Stefano, and reported good snow conditions throughout the tour. On the first day they opted for ascending the Col du Passon as the Col du Chardonnnet was too icy. Today our second Haute Route group set off and repeated this choice as now the Chardonnet is too avalanche prone! How a week has changed things.
