General information
Chamonix, Your Way is our exclusive formula for an intensely immersive experience. Take full advantage of the treasures of the Chamonix Valley by linking together iconic runs. This formula is designed for skiers who want to ski the Vallée Blanche twice in the same day, or extend the Vallée Blanche descent with off-piste skiing in one of the valley's resorts. Chamonix, Your Way guarantees a full day where you’ll immerse yourself in the unique atmosphere of the Mont-Blanc massif. We recommend this formula to expert skiers who want to be awed and pushed to their limits!
Aiguille du Midi summit - 3,842m. Panoramic views of Mont-Blanc and 4,000m peaks: Grandes Jorasses, Dent du Géant, Aiguille Verte... A breathtaking landscape featuring glaciers and rocky peaks. The descent from Aiguille du Midi, equipped with fixed ropes in the winter season, provides access to the Vallée Blanche ski route: 23 kilometers and 2,000 meters of elevation gain in an exceptional glacial environment. Skiing across slopes and bowls, you'll navigate through seracs and crevasses. At the snout of Mer de Glace, two options for returning to Chamonix exist. Traditionally, the cable car from the glacier connects you to the Montenvers train, then Chamonix. With excellent snow conditions, skiing down to the valley is possible. A walk of about 25 minutes with an elevation gain of 200 meters is required to reach Mottets Hut at 1,650m before continuing on skis.
