Not included:
These Chamonix ski tour holidays are open to all skiers. One guide leads groups of up to 8, mostly on resort terrain, and mornings are usually spent skiing together. In the afternoon, the guide adapts the day to the group. Some skiers may take a break while others do another run, or a few can ski a couple of runs on their own and meet the group later.
The one exception is the Vallée Blanche, an off-piste downhill day that requires you to be comfortable on red slopes. In our guide’s experience, the biggest difference between skiers on this trip is stamina, not ability, so good ski fitness will help you get the most out of each day.
