This magnificent ski journey can be done in a short day by confident black slope skiers. Thanks to the height gain (2742m) given by the Aiguille du Midi cable car. The descent of the Vallee Blanche is often the highlight of a ski trip to Chamonix!
We provide fully qualified (IFMGA) Mountain Guides who work hard to ensure, that you have a safe, enjoyable and interesting descent. We are also able to offer interesting variations on the descent. Would you like to choose steeper lines? Or include a short ski tour across to the Italian side before skiing down the classic route to Chamonix.

If you ski confidently on a black slope you will be ready for THE Vallee Blanche with us!

Ridiculous! The views from top to bottom cannot disappoint! On a day with perfect snow, and perfect weather, the VB was a dream come true!
Federico could not join us due to illness, but our replacement, Sergio Garcia, was everything you could want in a mountain guide!! He found us fresh tracks, and unbelievable views, all with safety first in mind.
Although ill, Federico was extremely attentive and and an excellent communicator! Every message/email was met with a near instant rely.
If you have spent a lifetime dreaming of skiing in the Chaminix valley, don’t hesitate to book! We could not have done it without Federico and Sergio, thanks guys!!
What a fantastic day with Fede and Ella skiing the legendary Vallée blanche! We could fully enjoy every minute – thanks to the professional, friendly and safe guiding. The Vallée blanche with patagoniatiptop should definitely be on every skiers bucking list!
