How To Ski the Haute Route with 57HOURS

If you’re into ski touring, you’ve probably heard of the Haute Route. Skirting several legendary summits between Chamonix, France, and Zermatt, Switzerland, it’s the most famous ski traverse on the Old Continent and for good reason.

Apart from the epic views and primo pow, the route is also a rite of passage for tourers looking to ski their way to the big leagues. However, the challenging climbs and ever-changing terrain prove too much for most people, and over half of those who attempt it give up halfway through. 

Want to learn what it takes to join the other half? Tune in to this free webinar hosted by our friends at 57hours on January 19th, 2023, at 1 pm EST.



In an hour-long session, local IFMGA Moutain Guide Jayson Simons-Jones will run down everything you need to know before tackling the Haute Route, from training and prep work to choosing the right gear and other logistical considerations. Jayson will also hold a live Q&A session at the end, where you can ask him anything you’d like about the Route or any of his other undertakings. 

If you’ve ever wanted to step into the world of serious ski touring, now’s your chance. And even if you’re not planning on trying the Route, you’ll get a glimpse into one of the best ski traverses on the globe, accompanied by cool pics and engaging anecdotes. It’s a win-win in our book!
