Glacier in Vallee Blanche


Title – Glacier in Vallee Blanche
Date – March 2004
Location - Chamonix - France

The Vallee Blanche above Chamonix in France is a popular spot for skiers looking for the ‘extreme’ off-piste experience in Europe and the scenery on the way down is certainly well worth the effort, as you ski by Glaciers of the most stunning blue ice.

But although it is certainly beautiful, there are risks involved. Crevasses and avalanches are common in this area and above all the risk of getting lost, adds to the dangers in which we place ourselves, when we go in search of these wonders.

Beyond The Blue have experience throughout the world and our instructors have first hand experience of many activities and are well placed to provide guidance that will help individuals embarking on independent travel. Where ever in the world you choose to travel, we can provide the advice and information through our Gap Year and Independent Travel Safety & Awareness workshop to allow you to do so in safety and with confidence.
