Chamonix is a mecca of the alpinism. This is where the most popular ski crossing in the Alps begins - the Haute Route Chamonix - Zermatt. Before the six-day ski tour from hut to hut begins, the wonderful descent under the granite walls and over the rugged glaciers - Vallée Blanche - is an excellent prologue.

Vallée Blanche is a legendary descent between the famous granite towers above Chamonix. Take the cable car from Chamonix to the Aiguille du Midi and various exits from there. Beware of glacier cracks! From Mer de Glace to the train (Montevers station) you can take the cable car or get off with skins. In the middle of the descent, refreshment is possible in the Refuge du Requin. This descent is mainly panoramic as a skiing enjoyment...
