This tour is perfect for anyone who wants to make the most of a day's ski touring: long, enjoyable descents with minimal ascent. Away from the hustle and bustle of the classic Haute Routes, we experience a downhill-orientated ski crossing through the impressive mountain world in the border triangle of Switzerland, Italy and France. Starting from Bourg St. Pierre in Valais, we take a direct route to discover some of the region's most beautiful ski peaks and glacier slopes, from Testa Grisa via Courmayeur to the legendary Vallée Blanche, where the final, gigantic descent leads us directly to Chamonix. With a clever choice of route and targeted use of lifts and transfers, we collect thousands of unforgettable metres of downhill skiing on this tour.

A tour for downhill enthusiasts who love powder snow, panoramic views and cosy evenings in a mountain hut, together in one of the most fascinating regions of the Alps.
