The Haute Route takes you from the Chamonix Valley, France, near Mont Blanc to Zermatt, switzerland, and the Matterhorn. During warmer months you can hike, but during the winter skiing gear is mandatory! It takes about twelve days on foot and closer to seven on skis, but there are alpine huts and small inns along the way. this project is worked in the round using twisted stitches and beads for texture.
