The tour "Mont Blanc To The Matterhorn" starts from Les Bossons and ends in Randa. This is a trekking and hiking trip that takes 15 days taking you through Les Bossons, Mont Blanc, Cabane de Prafleuri, Trient and 8 other destinations in Switzerland and France. This is a guided small group tour that includes accommodation, transport, meals and others.

The Haute Route is one of the best-known long-distance ski-touring routes in Europe; running roughly parallel is a spectacular summer trek from Mont Blanc to the Matterhorn. Covering approximately 100mi (160km), it links the valleys of the Haute-Savoie in France to the Swiss Valais. Following our guide, a qualified International Mountain Leader, we pass beneath 10 of the 12 highest mountains in the Alps. Walk through a landscape scattered with glistening glacial lakes and lush, undulating valleys by day and sleep in remote Alpine huts and under canvas by night.
