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.

Off-Piste Course 02-07/03: Vallee Blanche and Vallee Noire

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:
