Preparation meeting in Iceland:
Couple of weeks before departure, we will have a preparation meeting for the group. It is a great opportunity to ask any questions that might have come up, get good advice regarding equipment and get familiar with your travel buddies.

Day 1: Travelday
Travel day. The best way to get to Verbier (Chable) is by taking international flight to Zurich airport. From there it is easy to take the train to Verbier (Chable). In the evening we will go over the journey ahead, pack our backpacks and get to know each other.

Day 2: Verbier/Chable – Prafleuri Hut
We will catch the first lift towards the Col des Gentianes at 2894m above Verbier. From here we will travel
along the south side of Mont Fort via Col de la Chaux at 2940m and Col de Momin at 3020m on our way to Cabane de Prafleuri at 2624m. An ascent to the summit of Rosablanche (3336m) is possible along the way.
Distance 8,3km / Ascend 664m / Descend 913 m

Day 3: Prafleuri Hut – Dix Hut
We will start by a short climb to the Col des Roux at 2804m above the hut. From here we will descend and
contour around Lac des Dix to the Pas de Chat at 2385 and ascend to Cabane des Dix at 2928m. It’s possible to
make an ascent of La Luette (3548m) and enjoy a great ski descent back to the hut.
Distance: 10.2km / Ascend 895m / Descend 644 m

Day 4: Dix Hut – Vignettes Hut
From the Cabane des Dix we will ascend the Glacier de Cheilon towards the Col de la Serpentine at 3547m and
eventually to the summit of Pigne d’Arolla (3790m). From here an amazing ski descent will take us down to the
stunning Cabane des Vignettes at 3160m.
Distance: 7.1km / Ascend 910m / Descend 686 m

Day 5: Vignettes Hut – Zermatt
The last day of the Haute Route is arguably the best day of the whole trip! From the Vignettes hut to Zermatt we will travel through heaps of glaciated terrain via Col de l’Eveque at 3377m, Col du Mont Brulee at 3213m and Col de Valpelline at 3568m. We will then ski a long run down the Zmutt Glacier underneath the impressive North Face of the Matterhorn to eventually arrive in Zermatt.
Distance: 26.8km / Ascend 1126m / Descend 2381m

Day 6: Travel day
Time to say goodbye to the big mountains in Switzerland head back home. But don’t worry, you can come back to the mountains next time.

Participants need to have insurance for search & rescue in mountainous terrain. Rescue teams in Europe reserve the right to charge their clients for the full cost of rescue and the use of helicopters, when needed. We also recommend that participants have at least a standard personal travel insurance on all our tours.

Asgard Beyond reserves the right to change the program of the trip with regard to weather and conditions at any time. This will be done with the safety of guests in mind and to ensure the best possible experience on the trip. If the travel arrangements change significantly, extra cost may follow.
