After a short transfer (30 min), we will reach Courmayeur, a charming village located in the Aosta Valley, with a charming ski resort facing the south face of Mont Blanc. The resort offers incredible typical restaurants and coffee shops to stop for a cappuccino and a great Italian lunch. The skiing is really nice as well with runs above and in the trees.

Chamonix is well known for its mountains and one of the most common thing to do is to take the
Aiguille du Midi cable car to experience this journey into the highest mountains of the Alps! So there will be two options today because Vallée Blanche is an off-piste run on glaciers—some may not be comfortable doing it. During the first two days, your guide will assess your skills and then determine whether you can be challenged a bit—the point is to have a great time so if your skiing experience does not allow you to ski the Vallée Blanche, no worries, we may take the Aiguille du Midi lift anyways!
In that case, we will go to Les Houches, Le Tour or any other resort close by. If Vallée Blanche is doable, then it might be the most unbelievable descent of your life! A unique experience starting at 3,842 m, off piste and glaciers only! Depending on snow conditions, it is possible to ski all the way down to Chamonix for a 22-km off-piste run! If not possible, then you’ll take the Montenvers train back to Chamonix. You’ll get your own mountain guide with all the necessary safety equipment. Just keep in mind that skiing in fresh snow at 3,500m can be quite difficult, so we’ll make sure conditions will allow a nice and smooth descent!

Accommodation: La Folie Douce Hôtel
After Vallée Blanche, we will take you to a lower ski resort with great open runs and super nice
restaurants! Megève was one of the first villages, i.e., resorts, to be created from scratch. After a day out, we’ll return to our hotel in Chamonix.

We’re off to Switzerland today! After a 1.5-hour ride, we’ll arrive in Verbier, one of the most popular ski areas in Switzerland. Well known for its freeriding possibilities, Verbier is also
connected with three other valleys and offers a lovely ski area. Back to Chamonix in the evening.
