Haute Route

Before starting our cycling trip we planned the most famous Tourski trip in Europe, the Haute Route. This trip would take us from Argentière to Saas Fee over the Walliser moutains. My brother Dirk joined us on this trip. Janneke's brother Jorrit could not because he was scheduled to become father in this week.

Due to a lot of fresh snow in the days before, avalanche danger was too high to complete the Haute Route. Instead we had to make day-trips to the mountains surrounding Zermatt en Saas Fee: Fluchthorn, Allalinhorn and Breithorn. Normally easy 4000m peaks, but the cold and the strong wind made these mountains hard to climb.

We had a great week!
