Description
What can be better than the Chamonix area for a fun and exciting weekend of off-piste skiing? Join me for two fabulous days! We can also plan the trip during the week.
If you want to improve your off-piste ski skills in an exceptional environment, then this is the perfect opportunity!
We will learn how to progress off-piste, assess and manage the risks, and use the shovel, probe and transceiver.
A major highlight of this trip is the descent of the famous Vallée Blanche, 17 km long!
We spend the first day in the Grands Montets domain, then the second day at Aiguille du Midi, where we descend the Vallée Blanche.
Did you find this trip interesting? Then please contact me so we can leave together! If you are alone, don't hesitate to register, I will put together a group.
Another weekend plan that I love is freeride in La Clusaz!

Itinerary
Day 1: Grands Montets - Argentière glacier
Meeting at the Grands Montets at 9AM. Today we will discover the Grands Montets domain. It’s a world famous resort due to its amazing off-piste.
We will go to the Argentière glacier, where the landscape is magnificent and the snow is fresh.
I will help you in your off-piste progression, particularly on the glacier.
Day 2: Aiguille du midi - Vallée Blanche
We meet at the cablecar of Aiguille du Midi at 8:30AM.
We ascend by cablecar to the Aiguille du Midi (3800 m), before descending the ridge with crampons and tackling the majestic Vallée Blanche off-piste.
Depending on the level of the group, many itineraries are possible. In the heart of the mountain, we go through a huge glacier over 17km long. It offers a superb scenery.
The adventure ends 2800 m lower, at Chamonix, but the memories stay forever.
