The Vallée Blanche is the world's best-known off-piste ski resort. It stretches for 20km and has an incredible vertical drop of over 2,000 metres to descend endlessly! This mythical off-piste itinerary lets you discover the glacial landscapes of Mont-Blanc from the Aiguille du Midi.
For this ski or snowboard descent of the Vallée Blanche, you'll meet your guide at 8am in Chamonix, at the Aiguille du Midi cable car. Once at the summit, the guide will give you all the equipment you need, and once you're ready, you'll go together for the day. Depending on your chosen itinerary, you may well find yourself descending 3,777 metres on foot!
Throughout your off-piste ski tour, you'll see some of the Mont-Blanc's most beautiful glaciers. A truly timeless experience, with panoramic views that will seem unreal! Skiing down the Vallée Blanche will leave you with unforgettable memories! After this mountain excursion, you'll arrive at the Mer de Glace, from where you'll have just 20 minutes to return.
