Vallèe Blanche

Descrizione

Vallèe Blanche is said to be one of the most beautiful slopes of the Alps, it is a must for skiing enthusiasts. The stunning panoramic views at every turn will leave you speechless.

PROGRAM
The Vallèe Blanche is a classic off-piste route which spreads along 20 km including the famous Mer de Glace, the spectacular glacier which goes from the Mont Blanc down to Chamonix. From the Grand Capucin to the Jorasses, from Mont Maudit to the Aiguille de Chamonix, this off-piste skiing experience is truly unforgettable!

Day 1
Meeting point: at the cable car station at 8.30 am for an equipment check and short briefing.

It will be set off either from Courmayeur, taking the famous SkyWay cable car to Pointe Helbronner (3,466 m), or from the Aiguille du Midi (3,842 m). In either case, we will enjoy a long descent to Chamonix (1,042 m), passing through a fairy-tale landscape of glaciers, seracs and splendid granite needles: 20 km of off-piste downhill skiing amidst the incomparable beauty of the endless Mer de Glace glacier.

Usually, the journey to Chamonix takes 4 to 5 hours, including a number of stops (a break for a bite to eat at the “Salle à Manger” being an absolute must).
For those who have already skied the classic route, there are 5 variations to choose from, each as thrilling as the last, even for the most experienced skiers.

Note
In January and February, we generally experience ideal snow conditions over the whole route and it is possible to ski all the way to Chamonix. From the beginning of March and throughout April, the snow changes, while the weather is milder and more reliable, making the descent even more enjoyable. Depending on the snow cover, it should be possible to ski as far as the groomed pistes at Chamonix, otherwise, we can take the rack railway or gondola down to the little square next to the station.

To get back to Italy, we will set off from the station, either by bus or minibus shuttle and head through the Mont Blanc Tunnel.
Arrival at Chamonix scheduled for 2-3 pm.
Arrival at Courmayeur scheduled for 3.30-4.30 pm.
