THE AMAZING VALLEE BLANCHE

The Vallée Blanche is above all a magical setting in the heart of the snow-capped peaks of Chamonix! It is an exceptional off-piste skiing descent of more than 20 km in the middle of the Mont-Blanc massif. If you are a good skier and comfortable on all types of snow or terrain, go for it!

If you lack a little practice, we offer you a half-day option with an instructor beforehand which allows you to go on this adventure in full confidence.

Reviews from our customers

Gary

I used Evo2 to ski Vallee Blanche. They ensured my request for a very small group was met and our guide Jacques was both attentive and informative. Evo2 staff was helpful and communicative. I would use them again without second thought

Jason

We did both an off-piste half-day and the Vallee Blanche through Evolution2. The guides were good in both cases -- allowed us to go at our own pace, kept safety in mind, etc. But specifically the office staff were terrific! They were flexible with our bookings and needs, offered recommendations, and were open to answering a ton of questions. I'd definitely book through them again.

Michel

Descent of the Vallee Blanche with Jérôme, who gives good advice and listens on a technical level, and who made us discover these grandiose mountains.

Nick

Clement was an excellent guide of Vallee Blanche. He told great stories and led a great adventure!

Ronny

Took a group off-piste course and drove the Vallee Blanche with a guide. Very satisfied.

Simona

We had a great day on the Vallée Blanche with Evolution 2. Small groups, real guides, very competent. I would do it again and again if I could! It was the best ski run of my life!
