Haute Route this spring?y

[cj001f]

Anyone interested in doing the Haute Route, Tour de Soleil or one of the other big multi-day euro tours this April or May? It's an early easter

I absolutely am interested in skiing the Haute Route. I've been wanting to ski it for a few years now and potential partners have always been bailing.

 

It would be nice to meet and ski. All this rain pouring this morning is making me hoping for early snow...

 

And speaking of the Haute Route, this made me dream yesterday: patrouille des glaciers 2007. Two years before the next one...

was a trip I took in April on the other side of the alps. My skiing time in Chamonix was limited this year because I f'ed my knee. The Haute route would be fun but it's a bit busy.

I'd definitely be interested in doing the Haute Route. Non-guided, I presume?

I skied it about 10 years ago - as classic as it sounds and relatively moderate.

 

You do not need a guide but a guide can make the trip's logistics super simple and can probably pay for themselves by arranging shuttles and maybe getting some discounts. I did it solo so basically hired a guide as a partner and it led to some unforeseen bonuses (skiing cool peaks a little off the route - some days are very short between huts, staying up late drinking the hut keeper's private reserve, etc.).

non-guided. not hiring one and not acting as one (but I will be willing to do logistic work)

 

PM me and I'll send out information as winter gets closer
