Frequently Asked Questions

Where is Vallée Blanche?

The initial descent from the Midi Arête into the Vallée Blanche is the steepest and most exposed section of the route — a short but technical pitch that deposits skiers onto the glacier itself, from where the 20-kilometre descent to the Montenvers railway begins.

What does this print show?

The print captures skiers making the initial descent from the Midi Arête into the Vallée Blanche — the moment of entry onto the glacier with the peaks of the Mont Blanc Massif surrounding them.

When is the best time of year to ski the Vallée Blanche?

March and April are widely considered the optimal months for skiing the Vallée Blanche — the snowpack is at its deepest, temperatures are warming enough for comfortable conditions, and the daylight hours are long. January and February offer powder snow but shorter days and colder conditions. By May the lower sections of the glacier can be very thin and the route is sometimes closed. The Aiguille du Midi cable car typically operates year-round, weather permitting.
