Chamonix Off-Piste
France
France
The legendary
Chamonix has a reputation for steep, long runs. The great thing with skiing in Chamonix is that you have a variety of orientations and altitudes at the five different lift served areas of Brevent, Flegere, Grands Montets, Le Tour and Les Houches. It’s easy to hop over to Megeve, Les Contamines, Courmayeur or Verbier if the conditions look good.
There are long adventure runs on the glaciers of Les Grands Montets and the Aiguille du Midi with the famous Vallée Blanche going all the way down to Chamonix.
We have skied the Chamonix off piste for many years and know the right spot on the right day to get the most out of your off-piste skiing holiday.
Typically we chat the evening before and make a plan; sometimes it is best to wait until morning to see if there is fresh snow, new winds etc to decide where will be the best venue for off-piste skiing that day.
Mid – December to mid – May. Each month of the winter offers good skiing at different altitudes and aspects.
Number of skiers in the group depends on the difficulty of runs we plan on doing. Typically, if we do classic runs, a 1:6 guide-guest ratio is the maximum. For more complex runs it may be less.
