Chamonix Classics

Ski the classic Chamonix off-piste routes

A five day course. Fee per participant: 630 Euros. Minimum three participants, maximum six


Chamonix is often given the title of the best off piste skiing & backcountry venue in the world.
There certainly is some amazing skiing to be done there. In this 5 day course, the aim is to do as much skiing as possible, and in all my favourite places.

Off piste descents go straight off the valley cable cars: Grands Montets, Domaine de Balme (Le Tour – Vallorcine), Brévent – Flégère.

Envers Du Plan is an incredible ski  descent, one of the off-piste variants of the Vallée Blanche, on glaciers departing from the summit of l’Aiguille du Midi. There is also the possibility during the week to ski at Courmayeur and Verbier.
