Bonjour from Chamonix, France!

Today was another beautiful in the Alps. Our Haute Route trek tarted today and departed Chamonix towards Zermatt. Over the next week they will be traversing the Alps spending nights in mountain huts. The Haute Route trek is an excellent adventure for trekkers looking to having amazing views and enjoy the luxury of the French and Swiss hut system.

Another team today climbed the famous Dent’ d’Geant (tooth of the giant). This amazing technical alpine peak that towers over 4000m is a perfect way to train for the Matterhorn. Today 3 climbers reached this summit. The team will be moving to Zermatt tomorrow and looking to make a summit attempt on the Matterhorn over the next couple days.

Thanks for following our cybercast and will be in touch over the next couple days.
