Description

Experience the beautiful Vallée Blanche, in Chamonix, on this exciting one-day off-piste skiing adventure. Located in the French Alps, this place is a fantastic ski touring spot. Come with me to enjoy the breathtaking views and exciting descents.

During the winter season, touristic spots in Chamonix can become a bit crowded. Off-piste skiing offers the benefit of escaping the crowds. Besides, the Vallèe Blanche descent has a magnificent vertical drop of 2.800 meters. It is one of the most exciting and breathtaking skiing descents in the world with spectacular views of glaciers and peaks. We’ll enjoy it for 2-3 hours.

The route starts in the beautiful Aiguille du Midi and finishes all the way down at Chamonix. Another incredible feature is that it can be easily accessed through the Aguille du Midi cable car.

This trip is recommended for people with off-piste skiing experience and in good physical condition to handle up to 3.000 vertical metres for the day.

This is a tour you’ll never forget. Book your trip now and get ready for a unique winter experience!

About the guide

I am an IFMGA mountain guide living in Cyprus. I have a passion for exploring the mountains since I was child. Kyperounda, the town where I was born and raised, was my first playground, the place where I started practising different outdoor activities.

First I learnt skiing. Then, I started training and taking part in races and competitions, traveling extensively in Europe. As I am very curious, I kept trying all kinds of sports until I discovered climbing and all its exciting possibilities.

I also developed both my academic and my practical skills in the university, where I studied Outdoor Studies and Sport Science. During that time, I obtained qualifications as a Mountain Leader and a Climber.

Teaching other people is one of the things I like the most. I find a deep joy in helping others to enjoy the mountains as much as I do.

The experience of all these years as well as my technical skills, have taken me closer to my goal: becoming an IFMGA mountain guide.

We were expecting to be taken somewhere that we could not have gone ourselves. One of the members of our group was a very experienced skier and we did not need to pay to have a guide take us to ski somewhere we could have skied on our own without paying.

We had an amazing day skiing the Vallée Blanche. Kyriakos was very patient with my 14 year old son, especially in the first treacherous crampon section. He kept us at a comfortable pace with frequent breaks and picture opportunities. The pics and videos he took were also great.

A great experience! My guide was a humble PROFESSIONAL! All and all nice guy, kept me safe, explained everything well on what we were going to do where to go on the route. Had a great time even tho it was a bit over my "level". I would recommend using this company and your guide. 5/5.

Unfortunately there was no snow so we did not go to Vallée Blanche. We just did off-piste at Les grands Montets. Was good but not worth the money. Conditions were bad, but there was very poor communication. I think the trip should have been cancelled by the company. Was not really a back country experience we had hoped for. Not sure I would use this company again. The guide was able to give us the best skiing despite the conditions.

Kyros was excellent and professional! I had some delays getting my equipment in the morning, and he was more than flexible and capable of making sure I got what I needed. I would recommend him to anyone.

We very much appreciated Kyros’ professionalism and knowledge of the area. We’re fairly adept skiers but were not all that familiar with the mountaineering gear or protocol - Kyros was very thorough with his directions and making sure we were all safe. I had a 12 and 13 year old with me and he gave me a lot of confidence with his skills without being patronizing. ( Plus...he found us the goods!) We all had a great day. Happy to recommend him for or offer other intel.

Kyriakos was awesome! Very knowledgeable but didn’t push or feel like a lesson. If we asked a question he’d answer but we never felt like he was trying to teach. I was extremely happy with how we saw every other “group” going down more or less the same route and he brought us over to a spot that was untouched.

My Son and I we're absolutely delighted with our day out skiing the Vallee Blanche. Our guide Kyriakos was friendly, helpful and extremely professional. We really felt that we were being looked after by one of the best. Kyriakos also shared his knowledge of the route, the mountains and he even gave us some tips to improve our skiing. An absolutely fantastic experience that we will never forget.
