More on the Haute Route: The trail was first created over 100 years ago during the Golden Age of mountaineering when various outdoorsmen dedicated their lives to ski the most unforgiving sections of the Alps. While the Haute Route earned its name for traversing some of the loftiest passes in the Alps, our tour of the Haute Route brings you challenge and beauty while still maintaining an enjoyable comfort-level. Note, however, that this is not a trail for inexperienced hikers. The trail is demanding in many sections, has areas of high exposure and does cross some high-altitude passes. The Haute Route welcomes hikers looking for an unforgettable experience of a lifetime. |

| Cabanne de Dix | |
Highlight of the Haute Route: One of the most memorable parts of the Haute Route is the three nights spent at mountain cabannes. These little refuges tucked among the towering peaks offer the unique experience of staying among ancient glaciers while still having all of the comforts of a country inn. While the cabannes are rustic, have shared bathroom facilities and sleeping dormitories, the experience is unbeatable. The food is superb (usually a full four-course meal), and the mix of climbers, walkers and mountaineers, not to mention the myriad of countries and languages represented among the patrons, offers an atmosphere not found anywhere else. |
