Description

One of the finest places to visit in all of Chamonix, the Vallee Blanche is an amazing spot to explore and enjoy. While it is famous for skiing during the winter, the Vallee Blanche is also a fantastic place to enjoy during the summer. Hence, why I am happy to offer this trip that will take you through this beautiful valley.

Beginning in Chamonix, at the Aiguille du Midi cablecar, we will head up the Aiguille du Midi (3,800m). From the top of the peak, you will get to enjoy some magnificent views. After that, we will make our way down to the glacier below at an altitude of approximately 3,500 meters. We will then cross the glacier, making our way along crevasses into Italy, where we will take a break at the Punta Helbroner. From there, we will take a cablecar back to Chamonix.

If one day in the Vallee Blanche isn’t enough, there is also the option to stretch the trip into several days. Additional highlights of a multi-day trip include traversing the Aiguille d’Entreves, the Cosmiques Ridge on the Aiguille du Midi, the Aiguilles Marbrees and more.

Filled with tremendous views of the Alps of both France and Italy, traversing the Vallee Blanche is an experience you will never forget. To join me on this adventure, please send a request. I look forward to guiding you.

I also offer a multi-pitch rock climbing trip in the Chamonix Valley that you can enjoy here.

Mountain Guide

Based in Chamonix, I am in love with the Alps because of everything they offer me: great off-piste skiing, perfect granite climbing, superb peaks and ridges in high altitude.

I love to work with people, share my experience with them and guide them with passion.

Michael

It was a great experience with a highly competent and friendly guide.

Hannah

Awesome experience on Vallee Blanche, between Refugio Torino, Refuge des Cosmiques and Aiguille du Midi. Even though I have a lot experience trekking, this was my first time on a glacier. With Daniel help, everything went smoothly. Great guiding, I highly recommend Daniel. At the end of the day, drinking a small pint of beer, we make a deal, next year we go to Mont Blanc!

Harry

Daniel was our guide. He was helpful from the moment we met him. We felt safe walking on the glazier due to his calm instructions, and his observation of us and the environment around us. We would highly recommend him as a alpine mountain guide
