Wow, what an end to the winter season! We are getting more and more snow and big flakes are falling from the sky as I write. We will have a few more good weeks of Vallee Blanche, Off-Piste skiing and Ski Touring. Call us to book a Chamonix Guide.

We can still run the Haute Route for any last minute bookings. Or why not a ski tour in the Bernese Oberland, a great place for late season ski touring (see our latest blog for photos). If you are feeling fit and up for a real challenge you can ski Mont Blanc normally as late as the end of May.

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.

The Off-Piste Workshop skiers had two more fun- and sun-filled days with they did both the Vallee Blanche and the Vallee Noire. The Vallee Blanche follows the traditional route from l’Aiguille du Midi while the Vallee Noire starts on the Italian side. Both finish on the Mer de Glace.

Some photos from l’Aiguille du Midi, after a cheeky espresso at the Chambre 9:

We have not had much fresh snow for awhile and people are phoning us worried about the snow disappearing. Well, there seems to be plenty of it on the Valley Blanche, which is still in good condition. We have guided groups departing almost every day, weather permitting. Contact us to book.

The Chamonix Experience Off-Piste Course last week spent one of the days skiing fresh powder on the Vallee Blanche. Thanks to a fair amount of snow early season the arete (the ridge) has been equipped early this year. This makes makes access a lot easier and safer.

The views from the Aiguille du Midi are breathtaking. (more…)

The ridge is equipped and the Vallée Blanche is in great condition. Yesterday, (19th of January) we could even ski all the way back down to Chamonix without adding too many scratches under our skis. In fact most skiing on and off piste around here is in very good condition at the moment and we are expecting some more snow towards the middle of the week.

We are happy to announce that the arête (ridge) of l’Aiguille du Midi has been equipped, which makes it much easier and safer to descend. Therefore we are now taking full groups down the Vallée Blanche (max. 6 or 8 people, depending on conditions). Contact us now to make sure you don’t miss out on this fabulous opportunity!
