Vallee Blanche Off-Piste Ski Guiding
Full Day skiing the Vallée Blanche with a UIAGM guide for 1-4 people
Trust this local team of High Mountain Guides (UIAGM), Ski and Snowboard Instructors, all of whom have the highest level of state qualifications.
Chamonix has some of the most famous off-piste skiing/snowboarding in Europe, if not the world. You may think powder snow and off-piste is only for experts but if you have always wanted to try skiing in powder or off-piste, their team of Mountain Guides who are also Ski-Snowboard Instructors can teach you the techniques whilst taking care of your safety to ensure you enjoy the Chamonix mountains in winter as never before.
Their high mountain guides can guide you down the Vallee Blanche glacier, a 23km downhill including 19km of glacier with 2800m of vertical descent. You can also receive training in avalanche awareness and mountaineering.
All the High Mountain Guide UIAGM are fully qualified with the State French Diploma, full insurance and speak English.
Skiers or Snowboarders must be able to comfortably ski red and black pistes, control their speed, sideslip, ski at a safe speed and follow in tracks. You do need to be physically fit and able to ski for a sustained period.
Having an off-piste skiing experience is better but you can also go with a Guide-Ski Instructor who can coach you along the route to maximise your enjoyment and enable you to improve your skills!
