Chamonix is home to the world’s most famous off-piste ski descent, the Valley Blanche. This infamous 23km route starts at a dizzying 3,812 metres at the top of the Aiguille du Midi, and finishes in the centre of Chamonix. 

 

Before you start you must navigate a steep arête with a large drop off on one side. It’s a bit daunting at first but your guide will make sure you won’t have a problem with it. After this little challenge, you can look forward to spectacular high-mountain scenery, powder turns, imposing jagged peaks, head-turning seracs, deep crevasses, and the often eerie sounds that this glacial terrain delivers. 

 

 It may be a cliché, but the Vallée Blanche is genuinely an experience you will never forget. Given its high mountain setting, it is not without its dangers and should never be attempted without a qualified, highly experienced guide. 

 

You can choose to take a private guide who will adapt the route to the standard of you and your friends and go at a pace that you are comfortable with. If you wish to join an existing group then please be aware that not everyone may be of the same standard and that the guide will lead the group at the pace of the slowest person, to ensure that no one is struggling to keep up.
