Aiguille du Midi

From Chamonix (1035m), fly over the forest to reach le Plan de l’Aiguille in 10 minutes (2317m). On your right, the Glacier des Bossons, in front of you the Mont-Blanc (4810m), on your left the Aiguille Verte, the Drus and the Aiguilles de Chamonix. Then take a second cable car which, in just 10 minutes takes you up to 3777m, over the seracs, the glacier des Pelerins and the hanging glaciers on the north face of the Aiguille du Midi. . From the top, a sightseeing panorama unique in the world. Experience a very high altitude.

Vallee Blanche

A beautiful ski area in the Chamonix Valley.

Reviewed By shuffleboy

If you ski this, you need to hire a guide and be an expert skier in very good physical condition. Its a physically demanding adventure.

Les Grands Montets

ENJOY THE GLACIERS ! Two altitudes with two environments: the Lognan pastures at 1 970 m and the Argentière glacier’s seracs at the 3 275 m summit. A whole universe to discover…

Reviewed By noela232 - Leeds, United Kingdom

The Grands Montets ski area in Chamonix has acess to some of the best off-piste terrain in the Alps, as well as some challenging, high pistes. The cable car is currently being repaired, preventing lift access to the highest pistes and off-piste glacier itineraries, but the Bochard and Herse lifts get you to 2800 and 2600m respectively. New (this year?) is the upgraded Tabe lift, now a fast 6-person chairlift, with improved access from two directions, effectively replacing two old slow lifts. Almost more welcome is a brand new kiosk serving good, cheap coffee, tea and snacks near the base of the Tabe lift, because the prices elsewhere on the mountain are increasingly eye-watering!
