The famous Vallée Blanche is an off-piste ski route, 20km long with a vertical descent of 2700m. The views are stunning and the high mountain environment provides a real sensation of wilderness. This is one of those memorable life experiences that you’ll never forget.
If the conditions are good, this wonderful and magnificent adventure trip is accessible to most intermediate skiers and is a fantastic journey into the largest glaciated domain in the Alps, the Mont Blanc massif.
About half-way down on the Vallée Blanche, you can stop in the Requin Hut and have an excellent meal and drinks. When there isn’t enough snow to come back to Chamonix on skis, it’s much nicer and comfortable to stop at the Montenvers train station and take the train back down to Chamonix.
The ‘vraie’ Vallee Blanche is the beautiful original route. Less steep, this route is the easiest to ski. This route will take you into the heart of the Mont Blanc massif. Mountains like the Grand Capucin, the Tour Ronde, the Dent du Géant… will be just right there!!!
You’ll see one of the most splendid forests of séracs during your descent of the Vallee Blanche. Don’t forget that you need to be a good skier in all snow conditions and all types of terrain.
The
Petit Envers du Plan is a great route of the Vallee Blanche with some sustained slopes. You’ll ski through
some amazing ice formations, as the Petit Envers takes you into the middle of a labyrinth
field of crevasses and séracs.
You’ll have the chance to ski some lovely slopes with few tracks on them, all set against the backdrop of the Talèfre and Géant glaciers. It’s a route that is for strong skiers only.
The
Grand Envers du Plan!!! Here you have the most beautiful and most difficult ski route of all the Vallee Blanche variations.Skiing
here becomes a serious matter. The Grand Envers Vallee Blanche is a route with sustained
slopes of 40°-45° and requires excellent technique and control of your skis.
If you're a good skier and you're looking for an amazing experience... this will be one that you'll never forget. Only
for good skiers!
The Gros Rognon is a small variation on the classic
Vallee Blanche route. After skiing down the first quarter or so of the normal route, you go
left to get into some less tracked snow.
You can now test your technique in
deeper snow and over slightly steeper terrain.
The views are astonishing and
you have to feel comfortable skiing in all types of snow to get the most out of
it!!!
