Waterproof, Tear-Resistant, Topographic Map.The Haute Route-aka the High Route or Mountaineers' Route-traverses the French and Swiss Alps.

There is also a non-technical Walker's Haute Route that has gained in popularity and become a classic in and of itself. This Topographic Map Guide outlines two different variations of the Haute Route from Chamonix, France to Zermatt, Switzerland: one for hikers and one for skiers.
