Description

Home to the most famous off-piste skiing descent in the world, there is nothing quite like the Vallee Blanche.

Situated within the Mont Blanc massif, this valley is both gorgeous and perfect for off-piste skiing. The valley is nearly 20 kilometres long, and the descent is a thrilling, nearly 2800 vertical metre drop. Starting at the amazing Aiguille du midi (3,842), we will make our way all the way down to Chamonix.

The descent itself it not only thrilling, but is also an incredible journey down the white valley. You will be constantly surrounded by snow covered wilderness and some of the Alps‘ most impressive peaks. They include Mont Blanc (4,808m), Mont Maudit (4,465m), and an assortment of others. Also, as you make your way down the valley, you will get to see several incredible glaciers. The most famous glacier being the Mer de Glace. This amazing glacier stretches over 7 kilometres long and is 200 metres deep, and it will be in full view as you make your descent down the Vallee Blanche.

Skiing down the Vallee Blanche is an unforgettable experience. Even if it were just an off-piste skiing route with nothing around it, you would love it. However, when you add the stunning landscape of the Alps, from its wilderness to its peaks and glaciers, it transforms the Vallee Blanche into something truly special. And on this trip, I want to guide you from the top to bottom, so you can enjoy every second and every metre of it.

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.

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.

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.
