Plan D'Aiguille
At the mid-station there are two off-piste
runs down to Chamonix that, with good snow conditions, can give great
powder skiing. Like the Aiguille de Midi this area has no marked pistes
or ski-patrol, so route-finding can be complex. Also there is a big
avalanche risk after a new snowfall or a thaw.

This descends the
north side of the cable car in a big arc, keeping to the left side
of the Torrent de Glacier. The route joins a forest track which
leads back to the Aiguille du Midi car park.
This starts
by going south under the cables of the lift into a big bowl
which can give 500m of some fantastic off-piste skiing. A forest
track goes off to the right at the bottom of the bowl back down to
the Aiguille de Midi car park.
