The Vallee Blanche from the Aiguille du Midi summit is the most famous off-piste ski run in the world — a 20-kilometre descent through the high Alpine glacier landscape to Chamonix town 2,800 metres below, crossing the Mer de Glace and passing seracs, crevasses, and the glacier moraine in conditions that require a guide but are manageable for intermediate skiers. Hotels in Chamonix arrange guided Vallee Blanche descents as the defining Chamonix ski experience.
