Chamonix
Off-Piste Skiing Course Structure

|
|
Monday : |
Meeting at 09:00 am at the bottom station
of the Brévent cable car.
This Chamonix ski area has many 35° steep,
short couloirs, ideal to learn steep off piste
skiing techniques without real dangers in case
of a fall.
|
|
Tuesday : |
Ski area of
Le Tour at the end of Chamonix Valley . We will ski the ‘Couloirs des
Possettes’: 800m of 35° to 40° steep
sections. Depending on the conditions, we will
try and ski it twice in one day. It's a great
off psite skiing day |
|
Wednesday : |
We will ski
at the Grand Montets, the most famous
Chamonix off piste skiing area. This
ski resort has an immense variety of off-piste
skiing, known world-wide. The snow stays light
and fresh, due to the North Face of the Aiguille
Verte, which shields it from the sun. There are
several shorter, 45° couloirs, in which we
can practice our skills learned so far.
|
|
Thursday : |
It is time to
ski some steeper variations of the famous Vallée
Blanche, the Grand Envers.
2800m of descent, with two sections up to 40°;
a real off piste skiing experience on Chamonix
glaciar terrain amongst huge crevasses. |
|
Friday : |
For the last day of this off piste skiing course,
we offer two impressive couloirs:
The ENSA Couloir in the Brévent
ski area and the Couloir Rectiligne
on the Grands Montets.
In total, 3500m of steep off piste skiing with
an average of 40°. Without taking into account
the superb slopes at the foot of the Drus, which
you will discover after coming out of the Rectiligne
Couloir. This off piste skiing course will finish
in Chamonix, if we have enough snow.
|
This is an example of a possible
course . The ski guide reserves the right to
change the program of this chamonix off piste
skiing course, due to the skiers’ abilities
and weather and snow conditions.
