Description
Chamonix is a world renowned, fantastic skiing area in the Alps of France.
Throughout Chamonix there are a number of wonderful places to visit. There are also a number of amazing places to ski as well. And on this 1 or 2 day adventure, I would like to guide on a ski tour on the beautiful Breche Puiseux.
The Breche Puiseux is a stunning place. The views you will get here are absolutely gorgeous. You will be able to see a number of the French Alps’ most famous peaks, including the Grandes Jorasses (4,208m). You will also get to enjoy some of the most exciting ski touring you’ve ever experienced as well.
There are a number of amazing sights at the Breche Puiseux, including the majestic Mallet glacier, which you will even get to descend!
Along with the views, the descents, and the overall experience, another amazing part of this trip, if you choose to enjoy 2 days, is sleeping in the Periades bivouac. For anybody that has ever enjoyed a night in a bivouac, you already know it is an unforgettable experience. And the Periades bivouac is no different.
In order to participate on this trip, you have to be able to ski tour at an intermediate level. You should always be in good physical condition.
Are you looking for an amazing adventure in the Chamonix area? If you are, then the Breche Puiseux awaits! All you have to do is send me a request, and I will be happy to show you this incredible place.
I also lead a full day off-piste skiing descent trip in the famed Vallee Blanche 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.

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.
