SKI MOUNTAINEERING
Tackling the winter Haute Route
The inspiration for VALLON’s Heron Glacier came from years of ski touring and exploring backcountry, including the renowned Winter Haute Route - a 120km ski mountaineering challenge popularly undertaken between March and May each year. The route traverses high-altitude trails and alpine passes between Chamonix, France and Zermatt, Switzerland.
