Description
The Vallee Blanche is a fantastic area for ski touring. It offers a very long descent that can be done in equally amazing sections.
One of the biggest and most famous highlights of the Vallee Blanche is that you´ll find yourself in the middle of the Mont Blanc Massif. Just being able to see this incredible massif is reason enough to visit. On this trip, you will be able to tour around the Massif and see the scenery in all of its glory.
The adventure will begin in Courmayeur. From Punta Helbronner (3,462m), we will get to enjoy a descent of just over 2,400 metres, until we reach Chamonix (1,037m). From there, we will take a bus to Courmayeur.
When it comes to which direct routes we take down the Vallee Blanche, and where we will take breaks, that will depend on a number of factors. Those factors include weather conditions, what specific scenic highlights you wish to see, and your ability.
In order to make the descent down the Vallee Blanche, you must have off-piste skiing experience and a good fitness level.
The Vallee Blanche is one of the most exciting and breathtaking skiing descents in the world. Not only is the descent a spectacular thrill, but the scenery around it is truly remarkable. From glaciers to peaks, you will never forget it. So please, send us a request, and let us guide you on this adventure.
We also offer a full day ski tour in Gressoney, on the south side of Monte Rosa.

About the guide
A team of 12 IFMGA/UIAGM mountain guides from the Aosta Valley.
Guide Monte Rosa was founded after a strong snowfall in winter 1996. The Monte Rosa, while it is probably one of the most charming places in the Alps, is our base. The area offers unforgettable experience - the spectacular and in the same time fascinating landscape of the Monte Rosa is part of our freeride and heliski program.

Thanks to our know how and knowledge of our area, we can guarantee a perfect process and offering a maximum of flexibility and individuality.

Putting safety first, their goal is to help you fulfil your dreams and expectations.

We had a fantastic day with Alesandro in La Thuile. It had not snowed much for over 3 weeks, so he recommended that we go Ski Touring, and we managed to find fresh tracks. Could not have gone better!

Just have to say what an excellent week I had in Val Formazza last week with Heli Guides. Our guide Alberto was great and was able to find us great lines to ski as well as being great company and possessing a great nose for a fine bottle of wine. The hotel we stayed in - the Walser Schtuba - was great with comfortable rooms and top notch meals and wine. You could not ask for more after a great days skiing than to come back and relax in this great hotel. I was most impressed with all aspects of Heli Guides / Guide Monterosa and there willingness to make your holiday truly memorable.

It was just amazing. The guide was both fun and serious. Reassuring and very competent. The helicopter company was great too and the pilot (Alessandro) was super fast.

Heliskiing in Courmayeur is just amazing. The sceneries were stunning, the snow was perfect, we were along in the middle of nowhere. Organisation was impeccable, with Ode taking care of us right from the beginning. We did not wait at all and helicopter picked us up immediately for the first ride. Alessandro the pilot was super kind and helpful. We did two drops on two neighboring glaciers, 5 minutes helicopter ride. Only thing is that the downhill could have been longer, but that is due to the fact that wind conditions were extreme and hence only limited choice of dropping areas. I highly recommend this trip!
