We skied there with my family when I was like 12yo. One of the greatest skiing experiences of my life. Have you seen the ice caves? They are pretty cool, if they are still there that is.
Skied this in February of 2011. Knee deep powder. Absolutely insane. A must do if you have the ski ability. If the snow is packed like this video anyone above intermediate can handle it. If deep powder, advanced to expert only for sure!
why are you roped in? i get having crampons, but it's a bootpack. been on plenty no-fall-zone bootpacks in my day, none had cables/ropes. is it required? snowbridged crevasses and open crevasses... you're not skiing roped in... so
I was at the top of Mont Blanc so I know just how steep and terrifying this is from where they're standing. I don't get it but I guess they are made of different stuff than I am.
@nummanatee - Excellent music! Thought it was 'specially chosen for this film.. the haunting bits as they're looking down those crevasses! Great stuff.
Thanks for the advice. I'm more of a trekker than a skier, but love trekking in the snow. I will be in Chamonix in Aug 2010, and possibly Jungfrau region in CH and Zermatt. Can't wait to get up onto those mountains.
@999tanish -- Hi, there. This is a public space, no one can prevent you from going wherever you wish. Your only limitation should be your common sense. You are not going to walk all the way down, are you? Therefore, consider that if you walk down on the snow ridge, you will eventually have to climb back to the cable-car station, and that can prove a challenging task :)
Hi Marco . Thanks for the comment. I advice you to use a guide and the guide will take you the route after your abilitys and wishes. Remember its on a iceberg and cracks can be under the snow thats 200m deap, I remember the guide pointed 1 meter in front of us in the new fresh pouder snow ....there you will fall 200m....and come down where the iceberg ends in 500years ... Take care and I wish you a great trip. This is one of the best skiing experiances there is , maybe you get some powder to ;-)
Not shure of the name of the music , the original music was removed from the movie and I put new music on from youtube library, does fit pretty good I think.
Thanks for the "trip down memory lane" Skied it in 1999, yes it was one of the best ski runs of my life! Now i remember more about it, thanks!

Excellent video to watch even for a non-skier.When you come out of cable car at the top are you allowed to walk on the snow if you are not skiing?

Hi Espheni, Cool Video!!!!
Me and my friends are planning to go in Chamonix next January because we would try this route. (We are expert skiers)
I red in some forum about Valley Blanche, The Petit Envers and Grand Envers. Is The Aiguille du midi the same route or not???
Can you help me, please?
