We’re going to Italy today! A 30-minute drive will take us to Val d’Aosta valley, and a completely different scenery and atmosphere. Skiing in Italy is a real treat, and not only thanks to its food! The scenery is unique and you’ll be able to discover the south face of the Mont Blanc valley. In the evening, we’ll return back to our hotel.

Our third and last country of the trip is Switzerland. We’ll drive to Verbier, circa 1.5 hours away from Chamonix, one of the most popular ski resorts in Switzerland. Maybe we’ll include Zermatt and Grindelwald, but there will certainly be incredible off-piste possibilities. Verbier also has a huge number of nice pistes called the Four Valleys Ski Area. Return to Chamonix for your final night here.
