Early snow and lifts opening!

We have had a lot of snow already and very cold weather this last week. The whole of the Chamonix valley is looking very wintery and people have been skinning and skiing at Le Tour and the Grands Montets. It is actually really good. I have tried both areas the last few days. The below photos are from Sunday, Monday and Tuesday at Le Tour, Grands Montets and Argentiere village.

The Grands Montets will partly open this Saturday and Sunday (29th & 30th) and will hopefully from now on be open every weekend. Come and join us for an early ski!

Fresh tracks down the Vallee Noire

The Ski Touring Course participants had such a great day up l’Aiguille du Midi that they forgot to do any ski touring. They took the Aiguille du Midi cable car up from the centre of Chamonix, went to the top point of 3842m and took in the glorious paranomas.

Drowning in powder at Les Grands Montets and Le Tour

This week’s Ski Touring Introduction Course consisted of six participants: Claire, Zoe, Edson, Sarah, Uta and Christoph. Sébastien Laurent was the guide, and had his work cut out for him with an unusual dilemma: we had almost too much snow for safe ski touring! Of course, no-one was complaining as they were forced to do run after run of the white fluffy stuff…..the pictures speak for themselves!

Off-Piste course in April

Christie on the Glacier du GeantThe winter is far from over! We have had a lot of snow recently in the Chamonix mountains and we are expecting even more this week with very cold temperatures. The off-piste conditions are better than they have been all season. Therefore we have decided to run two more Off-Piste Courses in April, which is often the month providing the best powder skiing of the season.

Dates: April 6-11 & 13-18.

Contact us for more information.

Ski Touring the Col du Passon

To finish off a fabulous and powder-filled off-piste course, the Off-Pisters decided that they had enough energy to go ski touring. They took the cable car to the top of Les Grands Montets, skied down the Rognons glacier and across the Argentière glacier.
