Myself and my partner had planned to hike a shortened version of the walkers haute route from Chamonix to Zermatt over 10 days starting on the 19th of September. We would be staying in hotels / huts and carrying microspikes expecting some snow.

There is extreme snow in the eastern alps at the moment but the chamonix / Zermatt forecast looks okay at this stage. We have spoken to the Chamonix high mountain office and some of the huts who have advised that the conditions should be manageable, though obviously still need to check the forecast each day.

Would love to hear from anyone with experience on the route / area. Does this still sound manageable or if not what are some alternatives?
