Walker's Haute Route - Where to Stay

At Mont Blanc Treks we use tried and tested accommodation that offers you comfort and relaxation after a hard day trekking the Walkers Haute Route. We have selected what we consider to be the best accommodation on offer along the route.

If we don’t like staying there ourselves we don’t use them!

The Walker's Haute Route Accommodation Options

Accommodation: For our standard trek we use 3* hotel, auberge or mountain refuge accommodation depending on location. Rooms are on a twin/ double basis unless requested otherwise. Single rooms are available most nights at a supplement. The Refuges offer dormitory style accommodation with shared facilities. Please request your room preference at the time of booking.

Meal arrangements: Bed, breakfast and 3 course evening meals will be included with the exception of Chamonix and Zermatt, which will be breakfast only. Please let us know any dietary requirements at the time of booking.
