From the Aiguille du Midi to Chamonix the altitude change is almost 2800 meters. There, the Vallee Blanche is an extremely popular descent for good reasons! This epic descent is perfect for off-piste snowboarding, so join me for a day and let’s enjoy it together.
The Vallee Blanche is part of the Mont Blanc massif. It is a valley of a rare beauty, and its slopes are ideal for off-piste snowboarding. In fact, it is almost 20 kilometers long, guaranteeing a lot of exciting moments!
This jewel of the Alps is a paradise for snowboarders. If you come to Chamonix, you should definitely dedicate one day to do this amazing itinerary.
It will not only be about the great terrain. The views along the route are impressive to say the least. You will get to see the mythical Mont Blanc and Mont Maudit amongst other impressive peaks. We will also see different glaciers, one of them the famous Mer de Glace.
Do not miss this opportunity to practice first-class off-piste snowboarding in one of the most famous and beautiful itineraries in the world! It is a must for mountain lovers. If you prefer to do it skiing, I also offer that program.

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.
