besthike pilgrimage to the Alps

by site editor Rick McCharles.

Jeff asks whether the Tour of Mont Blanc truly is the best hike in Europe.

He’s planning a hike in the Alps in the next couple of weeks.

And it sounds to Jeff … and to me … that the more difficult, longer High Route would be the better adventure.

I may see Jeff on the Trail. Today I start at Mont Blanc … and walk to the Matterhorn. That could be 180km … if I don’t cheat.

I’m using Chamonix to Zermatt: The Walker’s Haute Route by Kev Reynolds as my guidebook.

besthike must ajudicate, once and for all, if the High Route is better than the TMB.

That’s our mission.

… Actually, the TMB and the High Route have one common section. It may be a … tie.
