Chamonix - Zermatt Haute Route during Easter

8 Upvotes

Hi Everyone !

Has anyone here done the Chamonix - Zermatt ski tour during Easter (or at any time) before and would be able to tell me how busy it gets ?
I don't really care if the huts are full, it's more about whether you feel like the mountain gets busy.
As for many people who tour, I really enjoy that sense of tranquility in the mountain and knowing that there aren't many people around, so I'm wondering if I'll get that feeling doing the Haute Route during Easter.

Thanks !
