Ski the classic Chamonix off-piste routes
A five day course. Fee per participant: 580 Euros. Minimum three participants, maximum six
Chamonix is often given the title of the best off piste skiing & backcountry venue in the world.
There certainly is some amazing skiing to be done there. In this 5 day course, the aim is to do as much skiing as possible, and in all my favourite places.
Off piste descents go straight off the valley cable cars: Grands Montets, Domaine de Balme (Le Tour – Vallorcine), Brévent – Flégère. There are incredible ski descents like the Pas de Chèvre and l’Envers du Plan.
This is one of the off-piste variants of the Vallée Blanche, on glaciers departing from the summit of l’Aiguille du Midi. There is also the possibility during the week to ski at Courmayeur and Verbier.
Basic avalanche awareness will be covered and if wished and all conditions are favourable, an introductory ski touring day is an option.
Level: You should be already a keen and experienced off piste skier, with a good parallel technique on black pistes, able to link up at least ten turns in powder snow,ski with a day pack and have a very good physical condition!
