Aiguille du Midi - Vallée Blanche

The Vallée Blanche is one of the best off-piste itineries in the world at the heart of the Mont Blanc Massif. The 22km journey starts from the top of the Aiguille du Midi provides a massive 2800m of vertical descent down to the Chamonix Valley. Seracs the size of 3-storey buildings are everywhere as you pass through the glaciers and down through the Mewr de Glace.

This trip of a life time takes between 4-6 hours. You need to be confortable skiing off-piste but you dont need to be an expert skier or snowboarder.
