Superb ski descent on the longest glacier on the Mont-Blanc range, of around 24 km. Deep in the heart of high mountains, blue crevasses, ice falls and dramatic scenery. A run down the Vallée Blanche is surely one of nature's finest gifts. Accompanied by a guide, you can negotiate the impressive breath-taking ridge from the Aiguille du Midi to where the skiing starts, in complete security. From the summit of the cable car (3842m), 2900 vertical metres until chamonix (24 km) if conditions permit.

The skiing : The Vallée Blanche is entirely off-piste, unmarked and unpatroled. The weather alone determines snow conditions. Plan on spending 4/6 hours depending upon conditions, route chosen and group level.
Standard : Open to all abilities because different routes down can be chosen according to the groups ability (Envers du Plan, Rognon glacier...), though note well ; the most important thing is to have control over your skiing no matter what your personal ability. A well behaved snowplough is preferable to an out of control parallel turn !
Dates : from Christmas to may, depending on snowfall and mountain conditions.
Collective cost : we can put you in a group of up to 8 persons.

Organized group up to 8 persons. From 1 to 4 persons : 290 €, and 20 € per person extra until a maximum of eight, cable car not included.
