About The Vallée Blanche from Punta Helbronner
From the top of the Skyway, the Vallée Blanche follows the Mer de Glace through granite spires, crevasses and seracs for 18 km to Chamonix, with a lunch stop at the sunny, sheltered ‘Salle à manger’. The tourist board describes it as suitable for skiers used to parallel turns on red runs; it is unmarked, unpatrolled glacier terrain, so go with a mountain guide.
