Chamonix — Argentière refuge
Meet your High Mountain Guide at 8:45am in Chamonix to get to know each other and rent and/or check the equipment needed for the course. Then off to Les Grands Montets to get in shape by making two magnificent off-road descents from the Aiguille des Grands Montets and perform safety exercises with ARVA, shovel and probe essential for the following days. Then we went up to the Argentière refuge (2771m) where we spent the night. On the way to the Haute Route Chamonix Zermatt! Walking time: 2 hours/D: 200 m and D: 3000 m
Refuge d'Argentière — Col du Chardonnet (3325m) — Relais d'Arpette
Very early in the morning, after breakfast, we go up by ski touring to the Chardonnet pass, before going downhill on the Saleina glacier. From there you have to go up to the Saleina window, then after a descent on the Trient glacier, we pass the Col des Ecandies (2796m). From there we go down the Val d'Arpette, to arrive on skis at the Relais d'Arpette where we can take a good shower. Night at the Relais d'Arpette. Walking time: 6 to 7 hours/M: 1041 m and D: 2000 m

After a short descent, we will reach the Col de la Chaux located at 2940m, the Col de Momin, and the summit of Rosablanche by ski touring. Finally, a very nice descent before arriving at the Prafleuri hut (2662 m). Walking time: 6 hours/M: 1000 m and D: 800 m
Prafleuri Hut - Arolla (2000 m)
Today we will go up the Lac des Dix. You have to save money and slide your skis well in the track. Once you've taken the Cat Step, you still have to pass the Goat's Step.

Arolla - Bertol's cabin (3311 m)
It's a very beautiful day for us this morning: the climb to the most famous hut in the entire Haute Route, Bertol. A true lighthouse in the heart of these mountains, it is a magical place. Dinner and night at the cabin. Walking time: 5 hours/M: 1343 m
Bertol's hut - Zermatt
The beautiful summit of Tête Blanche (3724 m) extends its arms to us this morning; it offers a breathtaking view of the Zermatt Valley and the Royal Crown. The fabulous descent of the Stockï Glacier brings us directly to Zermatt, the aim of our adventure. All we have to do is reach Chamonix at the end of the day, with images in our heads and heads still up there... Thus ends this Haute Route Chamonix Zermatt in ski touring.

I had a great time climbing with Sébastien. I changed the stay due to the weather and was able to find dry rock in rainy weather. Throughout the stay, Sébastien not only offered me numerous climbs, but also helped me improve my skills.
Sébastien was a fantastic guide. I had a great time and learned a lot. I would definitely use him as a guide; the climbing and route choices were also excellent.
Thanks to Sebastien L you are pushing your limits! Demanding but attentive, he will take you to discover landscapes off the beaten track... with a cool attitude. In short, a great guide!
