The route is considered to be the best of the best among the extensive network of Alps hiking trails. For a hike that will only take you along the Swiss part of the range, you will spend seven days hiking through eight mountain passes. That is if you do not spend too much time gawking at the awesome sights of some of the highest mountains in Europe. If you are considering solely hiking French Alps please read on, there is a cornucopia of options detailed on this resource. Some of the peaks you will get to see are Mont Blanc, Dent Blanche, and Matterhorn. So if adventure is your thing, go and take the challenge of a lifetime and hike the Haute Route.
Wow, that sounds amazing. I’d totally do something like this if once I get money rolling in.
Hiking the alps sounds like something that is write up my alley. I have been hiking through Australia and Africa and have been looking for a good excuse to get to Europe. Was thinking about South America but Europe seems like the better more cultured tilt
I’ve heard good things about the scenery from friends as well. After this article, i’m sold!
Althoughn the scenery looks spectacular it looks like bloody hard work to me – are there any safety services around the area in the event of an accident or emergency? Give me the beach any time viva l’espania

Now, this seems my kind of thing. Just looking at the scenery makes me want to go!!! Brilliant description on this one!
Oh man, my feet are itching to go on a hike like this among those stunning peaks. I love being surrounded by nature like that and I’d imagine the area around there would be really pristine. I don’t know about hiking in the colder weather though. Does anyone here know whether you can do this trek during the summer months? It’d be easier hiking through the warmer conditions.
