Activity description

Are you a good skier and want to discover one of Chamonix's must-do off-piste itinerary? Take to the slopes of the Vallée Blanche on skis and get your thrills!

The Vallée Blanche is the best-known off-piste ski resort in the world. It stretches for 20 km and has an incredible vertical drop of over 2,000 metres, which you will be delighted to ski down on this backcountry skiing itinerary in the Vallée Blanche, discovering the glacial landscapes of Mont Blanc from the Aiguille du Midi.

For this ski outing from Chamonix-Mont-Blanc, you will join the Aiguille du Midi alongside a professional instructor who will provide you with all the equipment you need (excluding ski equipment). Depending on the level of your small group of up to a maximum of 8 participants, the instructor will suggest suitable itineraries, and you may even find yourself descending 3,777 metres on foot!

Throughout your day of backcountry skiing in the Vallée Blanche, the most beautiful glaciers of Mont Blanc will pass before your eyes, a real moment out of time in front of panoramas that will seem unreal! Then, once you have reached the end of your tour, you will arrive at the Mer de Glace, from where you will have just 20 minutes to return to Chamonix-Mont-Blanc. So what are you waiting for? Take to the slopes of the Vallée Blanche on skis and enjoy a sensational moment at the foot of Mont Blanc!
