Chamonix Mont Blanc Powder Ski Safari Overview

Chamonix is THE destination for those passionate about off-piste skiing and mountaineering. On the streets of this famous high mountain town you will hear many languages spoken. The summit of Mont Blanc, which dominates the sky above Chamonix from its 4,810 metres of snow, ice and rocks, gives the town its unique atmosphere.

Squeezed between the ranges of Mont Blanc and Aiguille Rouge, the Chamonix valley has an immense ski area divided into 5 parts: Les Grands Montets, Brévent-Flégère, Domain de Balme, Les Houches and Aiguille du Midi/Vallée Blanche.

One day and one night in Courmayeur, Italy will introduce you to the “Himalayan” side of Mont Blanc and you will traverse its sumptuous glaciers before arriving, by ski, in Chamonix.

This safari will be a treat for your eyes and a workout for your legs!
