Tour Description
The slightly simpler “sister” of the Classic Haute Route. The stages are not very long, sometimes we use lifts to shorten the climbs. However, the Haute Route “easy” is no less beautiful than the “Classic” and, like that, is one of the great Western Alps crossings.
Experience on this tour the diverse landscape and the French flair from the Haute Savoie to the Romance Valais and enjoy unforgettable impressions with the view of the highest peaks of the Alps.
