The last stage of the Haute Route via the Cabane de Bertol passes through one of the most impressive glacier landscapes of the Valais Alps. From the spectacularly sited Cabane de Bertol (3311 m), the route climbs over the Glacier du Mont Miné to the Tête Blanche (3706 m). Then an exceptionally long descent awaits, over the Stockji Glacier and the Zmutt Glacier all the way to Zermatt (1620 m).
The stage is defined above all by its scenery. On the way up, a superb panorama opens over the glaciers of the Val d’Hérens. From the Tête Blanche, the view of the mighty north face of the Matterhorn and the neighbouring Dent d’Hérens (4171 m) is particularly impressive.
