Vallée Blanche ski descent with a mountain guide

Take the Aiguille du Midi cable car up for the Vallée Blanche! The adventure begins in spectacular style at the top of the cable car, at 3842 m. Once you're kitted up and roped together, you'll head down a narrow ridge with your guide to step onto the glacier. Then you'll put on your skis for a descent of more than 20 km, weaving between the crevasses. At the Requin and the Salle à Manger, around 2500 m, the slope steepens and you'll ski alongside the seracs. On the Mer de Glace, the gradient eases all the way to the Montenvers cable cars, and the Montenvers train then takes you back to Chamonix. Allow 4 to 6 hours for the descent, depending on your pace and the conditions. The outing is suitable for skiers who are comfortable on red runs. Your mountain guide will plan the route according to glacier conditions and give a safety and equipment briefing before you set off. Shared safety equipment is provided: rope, avalanche transceiver and harness. The outing runs throughout the winter, conditions permitting, and equipment can be lent to you.
