Chamonix Off-Piste

Chamonix

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 in Chamonix 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.

We offer one day off-piste guiding, multi-day or full weeks.

When
We do off piste skiing in Chamonix from early January to late April. Early season is normally colder and the snow can be really nice at lower altitudes. In the spring we often ski off the high lifts more regularly, with the often stable avalanche conditions and good snow covering on the glaciers.
How many people in a group
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 involving technical difficulties, we can arrange group numbers before-hand.
