Description
The Argentiere Basin in the French Alps is a beautiful area that is perfect for great ski touring.
Located near Chamonix, which is the one of the most gorgeous areas in the French Alps, the Argentiere Basin is full of amazing sights. There is a huge array of amazing peaks you can see from this place. Just a few examples include Les Droites (4,000m), Aiguille Verte (4,122m), the Aiguille d’Argentiere (3,901m) and many, many more. You will also be able to see the majestic Argentiere glacier as well.
With so many spectacular things to see, it’s no wonder this area is so popular. However, while the sights may definitely bring you there, the skiing will most certainly keep you there!
There are a number of thrilling descents that can be enjoyed around the Argentiere Basin. And on this trip, I will help you enjoy as many of them as I can. I will keep into account your skill level, as well as weather and snow conditions to help find you the right spots.
And because this trip takes place near Chamonix, you will also have no problem finding a great place to rest and relax before and after this trip as well. Hence making it easy to have this day long ski touring adventure be part of a bigger, exciting vacation in the Alps of France.
If you would like to join me on this amazing day trip in the Argentiere Basin, all you have to do is send me a request. I will see to it that you have a great and memorable experience.
I also lead a ski touring day trip through La Thuile in the Italian Alps as well.

Mountain Guide
I am a native of Chamonix, France. It is there I developed a motivation to discover the various winter sports within the valley. After participating in snowboarding competitions, I enrolled in a mountain guide course, which I completed in 2013. On top of my passion for guiding, I am also passionate about audiovisual art, which I try to incorporate in the framework of my profession.

What people are saying about Nicolas
Mauro
Because of not so good weather conditions we had to change the destination of our trip. Nevertheless Nicolas was very helpful with some alternatives and we ended up having a great time anyway.
The one day we had with Nicolas was excellent max. We toured the Vallee Blanche and it was an outstanding tour and he was an amazing guide! Thanks again Nico!

I initially was not planning to submit this review but after much thought, we (the four of us who participated in this activity) feel it is important for others to know the experience that we had. In addition, Nicolas was the organizer but not the guide that took us on our skiing descent so I would like to make sure that is reflected in the review. Jean, the guide that accompanied us, lacked diplomacy, did not treat us with respect and did not respond to a difficult situation as you would hope that a guide would. In this business, I imagine tricky situations occur with some frequency. In our experience when dealing with an undesirable situation with our guide, Jean, we were cursed at repeatedly, and treated in a way that compounded the situation, making it worse. This happened in front our two teen children and the only redeeming part of the experience was providing an example of how NOT to act in a difficult situation. Our recommendation is that you provide training in how to deal with situations that are challenging with diplomacy as they happen continually in life and on the mountain.
