Description

If you are a good skier and comfortable on all types of snow or terrain, go for it! ⛷️What skill level is required to ski the Vallée Blanche? Snow conditions can vary from day to day, so you need to be comfortable on all types of terrain (powder snow, moguls, crusty snow, hard ice, etc.). You must master the fundamentals, namely: controlling your speed and trajectory, following a defined route, making turns at moderate speed and tight turns at low speed, mastering the snowplow, and knowing how to perform controlled skids. All this on off-piste terrain and in the high mountains, which entails certain specific aspects that you need to be aware of. Indeed, you will be skiing on a glacier: one third of the route is above 3,000 meters above sea level, with sometimes steep slopes and certain sections equivalent to difficult black runs. You will descend the ridge of the Aiguille du Midi wearing crampons. You must therefore be able to control your apprehension and not be afraid of heights, knowing that our guides are there to accompany you safely. The activity is only available for skiers and not for snowboarders. We will not be able to accept snowboarders.
