The Walker's Haute Route

The Alps offer almost unlimited adventure, and the Walkers' Haute Route is probably the single finest way of getting deep into these mountains. Trekking the Walkers' Haute Route, from Mont Blanc to the Matterhorn, from Chamonix to Zermatt, you'll traverse one of the finest stretches of the Pennine Alps - the mountain range in the western Alps that stretches between Valais in Switzerland and Piedmont and the Aosta Valley in Italy. Written by our very own Alexander Stewart, we couldn’t recommend this guide more.

Going by the book?

Do you religiously follow the restaurant recommendations in your travel guide? Or do you risk going somewhere that’s not in the book? I’ve just returned from three days in Athens where my son and I had this very debate, and tested the results. On two out of the three nights we ended up in restaurants that were listed in our guidebooks.
