The crowning moment of a ski holiday in Chamonix, the Vallée Blanche is one of
the world’s most beautiful off-piste runs and the longest ski descent from a
single lift (Aiguille du Midi cable car).
With this book, Chamonix mountain guide François Damilano provides the keys to
this magnificent winter playground, bringing out the specific high-mountain
atmosphere of each itinerary: history, advice on glacier skiing, weather,
effects of altitude, equipment, etc.
This guidebook describes the six most classic ski descents through the huge
glacial basin of the Vallée Blanche and the Mer de Glace:
-Vallée Blanche Classic,
-The ‹True› VallĂ©e Blanche,
-Petit Envers,
-Grand Envers,
-Combe de la Vierge,
-Glacier de Toule.
