Day 3 (Mon):
Ski off the Aiguille du Midi Tram: Col de Plan, the Vallée Blanche, or even an extreme descent like the Couloir Cosmiques. Time-permitting we’ll make a second lap, then head to the Chambre Neuf for Cham’s ultimate après-ski. Dinner at the Micro-Brasserie, Chamonix.

After a trip up the Aiguille du Midi, we’ll skin across the top of the Vallée Blanche to the Toula Glacier, dropping in on Courmayeur’s Monte Bianco area, accessed by the Heilbronner trams. Lunch at the mid-mountain rifugio. Your gear and luggage will be waiting for you at the hotel, dinner at an award-winning Slow Food restaurant.

Day 8 (Sat):
