La Vallée Blanche JMEditions

Vallée Blanche is one of the most beautiful off-piste areas in the world and the apotheosis of a ski holiday in Chamonix. It is also the longest ski descent from a ski lift (the Aiguille du Midi cable car).
François Damilano, a high mountain guide, gives the keys to this magnificent itinerary by giving us an overview of its alpine features: history, presentation of glacier skiing, meteorology, altitude-induced problems, equipment..

This book presents the six most classic ski descents on Vallée Blanche and Mer de Glace:
- Classic Vallée Blanche,
- White Valley of the Ancients,
- Small reverse,
- Great Reverse,
- Combe de la Vierge,
- Glacier de Toule.

With the numerous photos and panoramic views, everyone can clearly visualise the routes, identify the characteristic passages and easily spot glaciers and peaks.
As well as providing a wealth of practical information to help you prepare for and enjoy these days in the heart of the Mont Blanc massif, this guide also allows you to remember the landscapes you have admired and share the emotions you have experienced once back home.
The Vallée Blanche, the most beautiful off-piste in the world is now part of the collection of reference mountaineering guidebooks published by JMÉditions: Mont Blanc 4808 m, Neige Glace et Mixte, Cascades de glace et dry-tooling.
