The skiing : The Vallée Blanche is entirely off-piste, unmarked and unpatroled. The weather alone determines snow conditions. Plan on spending 4/6 hours depending upon conditions, route chosen and group level.
Standard : Open to all abilities because different routes down can be chosen according to the groups ability (Envers du Plan, Rognon glacier...), though note well ; the most important thing is to have control over your skiing no matter what your personal ability. A well behaved snowplough is preferable to an out of control parallel turn !
Dates : from Christmas to may, depending on snowfall and mountain conditions.
Collective cost : we can put you in a group of up to 8 persons.
Cost per person : 70 € cable car not included.
Organized group up to 8 persons. From 1 to 4 persons : 270 €,
and
16 € per person extra until a maximum of eight,
cable car not included.
Note : the cable car is free with a valley skipass
