| Heli Skiing/Snowboarding | The best untouched powder in the Mont Blanc region, reachable only by helicopter. Access incredible 2000m descents amongst wild backcountry scenery by helicopter. Breathtaking panoramas of the Mont Blanc massif, Monte Rosa, and Grand Combin, and mile upon mile of untracked snow. The thrill of the helicopter ride combined with stunning skiing make for an unforgettable experience.
| | Ice Climbing | Enjoy this unique sport in a safe environment - with expert guidance your skills will develop rapidly. The stunning scenery and physical requirements create a powerful combination - climbing on ice involves an almost spiritual concentration. We offer a two-day introductory course for beginners - master the core skills needed to progress with confidence.
| | Mountaineering | Alpine Introduction
Our most popular course. The mountains provide a spectacular environment and to get the best from them you must know the rules. This 5 day course will help you to develop an understanding of security - whether it be tied to a ridge or balancing on a steep snow incline. Your UIAGM guide knows how to share his experience and passion during the various climbs, refuge stays and workshops. Our aim is to make you self-sufficient on the mountain.
| | Skiing | Off Piste Courses
The Mont Blanc mountain range offers some of the most breathtaking descents imaginable. Did you know that without driving you can ski the Alps of Switzerland, Italy and France in one weekend? From our base in Chamonix, our guides will seek out the best powder opportunities of the Swiss valleys or the sunnier Italian forest side of the Mont Blanc.
Imagine a classic alpine ski descent to the Chamonix valley with stunning views of the highest peaks in Europe. The Valley Blanche run begins with a short walk from the Aiguille du Midi at 3,842m down a maintained but exposed path. There are several possible routes to ski down the glaciers, selected by your guide according to your group's ability and the snow conditions
| | Snowboarding | Backcountry
The best of the mountains without the crowds. Escape the hassle of crowded slopes and explore places lifts cannot take you. Itineraries to suit all tastes and standards, from challenging remote glaciers to powder filled forests and discover the very best of alpine backcountry.

At Chamonix Guiding we want to ensure you make the most of your time in the mountains. On arrival you will meet with your guide and discuss what you would like to get out of your stay.
• Equipment rental – we come with you to organise equipment rental and can organise equipment in advance in some cases.
• Skip the queues – we organise the collection of lift passes so that you can go straight up the mountain on your first morning and get on with what you came for.
• Transport to and from activities – your guide will pick you up from your accommodation and bring you back in one piece at the end of the day!
• We speak your language – we know there is nothing more frustrating than not being able to communicate. Our guides are fluent in English, French, German, and are able to communicate even the most subtle details.
• Precious memories – we would like you to be able to share your experiences. Your guide will film and photograph your trip to capture it forever. You will receive a CD at the end of your visit, and all the photos will be available on our dynamic gallery for your friends to share.
