This topographic map booklet describes two different variants of the Haute Route from Chamonix, France to Zermatt, Switzerland: one for hikers and one for skiers. The northernmost route, or walkers' route, shown on the map, runs north from Chamonix and crosses the Alps to Zermatt. The ski route shown on this map illustrates the Grand Lui variant, which is the longer and more technical route that eliminates the road connections of the Verbier and Classic variants.
Although the term Haute Route has been widely used for many multi-day alpine hut-to-hut hikes, the "Chamonix-Zermatt Haute Route" remains the original. So whether you choose to strap on skis or hiking boots, the Haute Route is an adventure like no other.
More convenient and easier to use than folded maps, yet just as compact and lightweight, National Geographic's topographic map booklets are printed on waterproof, tear-resistant "Backcountry Tough" paper with stainless steel staples. A full UTM grid is printed on the map to aid GPS navigation.
