Summit of Mont Blanc Training ski touring in Vanoise On the way to Mont Blanc

Ski Touring in the Vanoise with ascent of Mont Blanc

Why not finishing the ski season by standing on the summit of Mont Blanc ? And then skiing down ? When spring starts to become more apparent in the valleys, the higher parts of the mountains remain in the grip of winter for a few more weeks, with a snow level at about 2000m. Each morning you will be given the chance to explore a new summit or a new descent amongst the numerous routes that the Vanoise and Beaufort mountain ranges offer. As well as the unique sensations experienced when skiing “spring snow”, we may also be lucky enough to stumble upon a valley shaded from the sun where we can savour some powder turns which sometimes happens at this time of the year. We also take pleasure in a mountain that has become wild again as the winter crowds have gone.
We will finsh this superb week's ski touring by the ascent (and descent) of Mont Blanc.
