9 Days. 12 passes. 100 miles or so. 34,000 vertical feet. We had a great time and found new friends and fine food all along this incredible trail from Chamonix to Zermatt. A detailed trip and gear performance report in a few. In the meantime some pictures.

| Some fine trail work coming into the Zermatt Valley. Not all trails were this buff! |

| Les Hauderes- Every valley has different style chalets. Les Hauderes featured the "skyscraper" style. |
