How to Ski Tour the Haute Route: Chamonix - Zermatt
https://youtu.be/Ncg--q3GkpY
5 day ski expedition from Chamonix to Zermatt with Olly Norris (www.ollynorris.com) and Tom Wilding. This video serves as a video diary of the trip with GPS track data. This accompanies the technical blog at http://www.ollynorris.com/blog.html
For those of you who have kept up to date with my ski touring blogs this winter, this a very special one, as I look back over a sensational trip from Argentière in the Chamonix Valley, France, to Zermatt, Switzerland. This famous Grand Tour across the Alps is usually completed in as many as 8 days, but myself and Tom were aiming to do it in as few as 5 days.
