Chamonix & INCREDIBLE Mont Blanc incl. La Vallée Blanche

Chamonix is world famous for its little town which is located at the foot of the Mont-Blanc, Europe's highest mountain at 4,810m.

This mountaineering and vibrant town offers a unique experience like no other with breathtaking views of the impressive Aiguilles Rouges, Aiguille du Midi, Aiguille du Dru, Aiguille Verte...

Skiing safely off-piste with a guide equipped with ropes, harness and crampons down the notorious "La Vallée Blanche" surrounded by beautiful ice caves is a unique experience you will remember for the rest of your life.

Chamonix's scattered 5 ski areas of Grands Montets, Les Houches, Le Tour/Balme, La Flégère/Le Brévent (both linked) offers skiers and snowboarders a fantastic playground for all skiing abilities.

For off-pistes skiers, look no further, it is a thrill seeker's paradise with so much off piste terrain and off course the most famous off-piste ski run in the world, "La Vallée Blanche" which finishes off with the iconic red Montenvers Mer de Glace cog wheel train down to Chamonix (must have lunch at Refuge du Montenvers - extraordinary views!).

WHY TOP SNOW TRAVEL?
————————————————————————

🇫🇷 ⛷️ We created Top Snow Travel to help you experience *exceptional and seamless France ski holidays* to the best French ski resorts!

*Who is Gilles Riou from Top Snow Travel?!*

Top Snow Travel's Founder and a world-class ski enthusiast who understands the needs of a luxury ski holiday.

His expertise comes from having skied at more than 70 SKI RESORTS around the world, including Canada, the USA, Australia, New Zealand, Switzerland, and more than 40 different ski resorts in FRANCE alone.

Not only has he explored the French Alps while on holidays from his current home in Australia, he has also spent much of his childhood & adolescence on these remarkable mountains.

From just 2 years old until he was 15, Gilles was fortunate enough to visit his family-owned home at a ski resort in the French Alps called Valfréjus. Every school holiday, his loved ones and himself would leave their home in Paris and enjoy the atmosphere and excitement of this stunning mountain region. It was here that he developed a sincere love for the sport of skiing, as well as a wealth of knowledge regarding the best places to stay and ski. These memories stayed with him long after he moved to Australia as a teen.

After school, Gilles spent the first decade of his career working in the travel and tourism industry selling worldwide ski holidays to the Australian market. However, Gilles knew he had more to offer so he decided to venture out on his own.

"In 2015, Top Snow Travel was created to give fellow Aussies the incredible experience of elite skiing on some of the very best slopes in the world. My desire to share this passion with others is just one of the reasons Top Snow Travel is a top-rated ski travel company today"

very nice, when I did the vallee blanche there was no ropes or guard rails and we did not have all that kit you have. I followed some guys who new they way. It was wonderful.

[lidmurmur]

At the beginning I thought it was a skiing video, turned out it also had the amazing adventure for La Mer de Glace!

[tomdemerly]

Excellent video. It's a dream of mine to ski this incredible run.

[compagniedesguidesdechamon]

Hi Gilles! Great video!! Now I realize the amazing snow conditions you had for your 'Vallée Blanche'...pretty lucky! I'm glad you enjoyed your day with our Guide Franck. It was really nice to meet you in Chamonix, take care! Magali - 'Compagnie des Guides de Chamonix'.

[wendypiltz]

Fabulous ! you have captured the spirit & adventure of Chamonix.

[DeniseHewitt]

I hiked the Vallee Blanche in summer in reverse from Montenvers up to the Summit of the Aiguille du Midi! Much slower than on skis so we spent a night en route at the Refuge de Requin up on the rocks above the Geant Ice-Fall! Spectacular Scenery. And then a few days later we hiked with crampons & ice-axe to the summit of Mt Blanc @ 4807m! Awesome Views!

[Lynne-]
