Description

Situated in the northwestern corner of Italy, freeride skiing in the Aosta Valley is the best way to see this picturesque part of the Alps!

Based on the southern slopes of Mont Blanc, we will head out each day to a different part of the massif, enjoying plenty of incredible runs on pristine snow.

As we go, we’ll take in many different and incredible views over the snow-capped mountains, glaciers and valleys of the French-Italian border. In the evenings, we will return to our cosy accommodation and enjoy some Italian cooking.

Over the course of our time together, we will ski on the slopes above Courmayeur, do some freeride skiing at La Thuile / La Rosière, traverse the Toule glacier and even ski through Vallée Blanche and on to Chamonix.

Among the numerous highlights of the trip will be traversing the glacier. After using rope and a suspended staircase to climb out onto the glacier, we will drop down to the other side and ski to Entrève (1300m). Here, we will enjoy simply stunning views out over Mont Blanc before skiing back to our accommodation.

Another incredible day will be when we climb Mont Valaisan (2892m), which takes about 1.25 hours. At the top, we’ll enjoy immaculate views into the Aosta Valley before plunging back down to the base of the mountain on some of the best powder in Western Europe.

So what are you waiting for? Book now for this unforgettable 6-day adventure freeride skiing in the Aosta Valley!
