Discover the mythical Vallée Blanche on skis, a day of glacier skiing in the most beautiful panorama of the Mont-Blanc massif at over 3,800m altitude.
An extraordinary high-mountain adventure.
An extraordinary high-mountain adventure.
Depart from the summit of the Aiguille du Midi and descend the famous ridge on foot, roped up with your guide: the emotional sequence.
Then, depending on snow conditions and the technical level of the participants, you can opt for one of the many variants of more or less steep descents on the Géant, Vallée Blanche or envers du plan glaciers... The action sequence!
The routes converge on the famous "Mer de Glace", one of the largest glaciers in the Alps! This is a time for contemplation...
Depending on snow conditions, you can ski through the forest to Chamonix, or take the Montenvers train back down to the valley.
To each his own Vallée Blanche, but with the common denominator of an EXTRA ordinary day!
The guide's view:
The Vallée Blanche takes place entirely on glaciers. Snow and glacier conditions (crevasses) change daily.
The minimum ski level required is "red piste", but may be higher in some cases (fresh snowfall), so we recommend that you contact us so that we can give you the most recent "terrain feedback" possible.
For children, the spring period (March/April) is more recommended, and the ski level should be equivalent to "the arrow". Children tire more quickly than adults, and are also more sensitive to cold and altitude.
Itinerary from 19 to 22km.
What to bring:
- Ski equipment and rucksack (with ski-carrying system), needed for the descent of the ridge and for the exit from the Mer de Glace at the end of the route.
- Warm gloves (or even mittens) and ski mask (wind). Warning: at an altitude of almost 4,000 m, you are in a very high mountain environment.
- Essential sun protection (cream with a good sun protection factor, and sunglasses with a UV rating of at least 3 to 4).
-Small water bottle or thermos in your bag (at altitude, you get dehydrated very quickly!).
Option to eat at the Requin refuge halfway up the route, or pack a picnic lunch.
