STEEPED IN HISTORY
The ‘Haute Route’ was first pioneered in 1861 by the British Alpine Club. It was first completed on foot but in 1911 was successfully completed on skis by a local Dr from Chamonix called Michel Payot. Having completed the route on foot before, he and a team of guides (Joseph Couttet, Alfred Simond and Joseph Ravanel) embarked on the challenge. Back then equipment wasn’t as high tech as it is now, so long wooden skis and some basic leather boots were about as high tech as it got.
A lot has changed since the beginning of the 20th century and in 2013 France’s Lionel Claudepierre set a new record for fastest crossing. The local policeman and mountain guide completed the trip in 18 hours and 35 minutes. Wowzers!
