Chamonix Skiing

Join Joe this winter to ski in the birthplace of alpinism. Despite the rugged nature of these mountains, the area has ski options for all abilities. We can venture out each day from Chamonix to legendary ski tours like the Vallée Blanche from the Aiguille du Midi lift, off piste in the Aiguille Rouges, or around Argentière. The countless mountain huts open our options for multi day tours such as the Haute Route, world’s most famous ski tour.

Joe has spent at least two months each year in Chamonix for the past 15 years. He knows the place well. Contact Joe and let’s make a plan!
