Ski mountaineering
& snowboarding The classic, and by far the most popular high-mountain
outing is the Haute route in the Valais.
It leads from Saas Fee over the glaciers of Monte Rosa into the
region of the Pigne d'drolia, then from Chanrion and the Grand
Combin over the Plateau du Trient towards the highest
peak of
the Alps, Mont Blanc, and from there down to Argentiere near
Chamonix.
Connoisseurs consider the months of April
to June to be the most favourable for expeditions from Saas Fee
to Argentiere or vice versa, but this does not mean that the
summer is a
bad time.
Check with the local guides to find out when
you can go. The Zermatt ski school also offers snowboarding lessons
as well as deep snow, and off piste skiing lessons.
