It is snowing outside our office window in Argentiere in the Chamonix valley! I just went for a drive up to Le Tour (1450m) and took these photos and according to the Compagnie du Mont Blanc website there is 40cm of fresh snow at the Aiguille du Midi (3842m). Winter is definitely on its way!
  

With that in mind you should take a look at Chamonix Experience winter activities. We will continue with our 6 day Off Piste Course, which has proved successful over the years. This all-inclusive course is an ideal start for you who are in the beginning off your off piste career and want to learn better technique and mountain safety and experience some world class off-piste skiing.
New this year is our Winter Mountaineering course, also all-inclusive, which consists of six days of ice climbing, mixed climbing and mountain awareness in Chamonix and its surroundings.
Some more news to check out is our 2 day Vallee Blanche itinerary, two days guided off piste skiing and an overnight in a high mountain refuge. And for you who would like to venture further in the backcountry we have some great trips and ideas. Check out the Bernese Oberland ski tour! No more demanding than the Haute Route but so much quieter. We also have a general Ski Touring page that will give you some inspiration and ideas of other areas in the Alps that offer fantastic ski touring.

New this year is the Chamonix Experience Winter Mountaineering course. There are lots of possibilities for mountaineering in the Mont Blanc range even  in winter. There are many frozen waterfalls in the valley that can be great in cold temperatures. With all lifts open you also have relatively easy access to many high mountain routes.

Here are a few photos from the Contamine-Mazeaud route on the Triangle du Tacul, AD+ 350m. A great route when in good condition and not that technically demanding. However you might need a bit of courage and stamina.
