Description

Famous with skiers the world over, the Vallee Blanche is as beautiful and fun as it is popular. And during this full-day ski touring adventure, I would like to guide you on skiing adventure in the valley that you will never forget.

Our trip will begin in Courmayeur. There, we will meet at the Skyway ticket office. After that, we will make our way to the top of the Punta Helbronner on a cable car. During the cable car ride, you will be able to admire the gorgeous Vallee Blanche area. You will get to marvel at the area’s collection of peaks, glaciers and sensational landscape. After the cable car ride, we will then start skiing. You will have several kilometers of great descents to choose from and enjoy during this trip. At the end of the trip, we will make our way to Chamonix in France. In the case there is insufficient snow, or tiredness after a long day of skiing, we can take the Montenvers train to Chamonix. From Chamonix, you can take a taxi to Courmayeur.

In order to participate on this trip, you should have prior ski touring experience. It is also important that you are in good physical condition as well.

Ski touring in the Vallee Blanche is a fantastic opportunity for anybody who loves great skiing in a gorgeous natural area. To join me on this trip, please send a request. I know you’ll have a great time.

I can also take you on this ski touring trip in Courmayeur that can last for one or several days.

What people are saying about Explore-Share

Man

Climbing with guide Guillaume was absolutely a highlight of my 2-week Europe vacation. Originally, we were planning on climbing in the Calanques, but the park was closed due to wind and fire danger. Guillaume chose another amazing location (Pic de Bretagne) based on my climbing abilities and preferences and kindly offered train station pick-up and hotel drop off, which I appreciated very much. The multi-pitch route we did was not only fun but also the right amount of challenge, which I thoroughly enjoyed. The communication from the team (Gauthier) was prompt and clear—highly recommend!

Maxine

Luis Silva was a great climbing guide and belayer! He taught me how to do moves that were difficult and encouraged me to try routes that were challenging for me! Because of his encouragement, I managed to complete these routes! I really enjoyed the climbs and completed 8 routes in the Sesimbra/Azoia area. The weather was perfect, no direct sun and cool enough to enjoy the climbs. Explore-Share made booking an outdoor climbing experience in Lisbon extremely easy. Luis, our guide, was fantastic, and the platform’s organization was flawless.

Valeriya

You’re simply the best!!! :))) Explore-Share made everything easy and stress-free. Will definitely use again.

We had Léo as a guide for our day climb in Fonty. We were blessed with a knowledgeable, warm, and instructive guide. Communication with Léo and Ivan was smooth and swift. Explore-Share was excellent in arranging everything for our day climb. The communication was quick, and the platform was easy to use, making our adventure stress-free.

Patrick was a great guide. He took us on an intermediate Via Ferrata at Passo Sella. Renato was quick to respond with any outreach on the Explore-Share platform. The booking process was straightforward, and once Patrick was confirmed, all went well. It was a wonderful experience, and I’d highly recommend the platform.
