Our European Alps trek combines spectacular hut trekking over one of Europe's most famous routes, with visits to charming villages in France and Switzerland. The trip culminates with a glacier climb up the Breithorn at 13,450 feet.

Journey from Geneva to the Alps

Following our arrivals in Geneva, we'll be off to Chamonix for orientation, rest, and acclimatization. In this beautiful mountain village, we'll get to know each other and pack for our trip.

Hike the Haute Route to Zermatt

From Chamonix, we will embark on the famous Haute Route east to Zermatt. For the next 13 days we'll backpack at high elevations, stopping at mountain huts to exchange stories and spend nights with other European travelers. This is some of the Alps' most incredible landscape, with flower-filled meadows, glaciers, snowfields, and forests.

Climb the Breithorn

After a relaxing day in the charming ski village of Zermatt, exploring its many narrow streets and colorful shops, we'll ride a gondola to 12,000 feet to join professional mountain guides. We will then trek across glaciers to the summit of the Breithorn at 13,450 feet. A spectacular sight awaits, spanning the peaks of the Bernese Oberland to the Matterhorn and Mont Blanc beyond.

Visit Chamonix, Champex, Zermatt, and Geneva

After our Breithorn climb we will board the train back to Geneva for 2 days of relaxation and exploration. We will enjoy our end-of-summer feast where we'll celebrate our accomplishments before boarding our return flights home.
