Good snow conditions in Dec...and not too crowded either. Thnx 4 sharing 👍⛷️

very good video phillip

Dear Philip, oh, beautiful video ! ❤❤ I like it👍👍thank you. Have a great weekend.

great video - see you in pamporovo 2024 :)

You can ski past the line on the south side instead of standing in it. It will take like one minute to reach the plateau.

I would have loved to have done this 20 years ago. There’s no way in hell I’d do it now.

Great video! Looking forward to our first trip to Pamporovo now😊

Good video . :) I love Pamporovo! <3

Fabulous video. I’ve skied in Pamporovo many times and I love it. I’m going again this Saturday with 5 of my girlfriends. I can’t wait ❤️❤️❤️

Great video 😊

great ski run ha ha ha ha ha ha

I remember doing this 4 years ago. I had the brillianr idea to do it with a snowboard, as you can imagine i had to walk a lot! Still unforgettable

Thanks for posting. I love Scheffau, can’t wait until March gin g back for the umpteenth time.

More people there now, but absolutely worth it! :-) I was there in 1982, 16 years old. My buddy (17) and I convinced our parents that a chartered ski trip to Chamonix at our age was totally safe. We paid for it ourselves so all they had to do was trust us and say yes. We live in Norway, parents were gullible then. We hired a great guide for the whole day for Vallee Blanche, but since there was still time on the clock (and I guess he liked us and wanted to ski there anyway), when we got down he took us to Brévent on the other side of town. On the way up he pointed to a gondola in the snow below and said "the French buy used wires from Italy when they are done with them. Not all gondolas get it to the top". He had a mind of his own, and where he brought us was just awesome and off the trail. We had to travers and climb a bit before we came to the top of a chute we dropped in to and that felt vertical, about 3 to 8 meters wide the first 100-200 meters before widening out to be a little used great slope back to Chamonix. I'm guessing only guides knew about this then.

Slopes in G.M. forgive you one mistake.....maybe two. Tx for the video. Chamonix calling !

No ice therefore no crampons required. There's really no risk of falling off, you have to jump off!

One time I was hiking some dude slipped and fell. bumped into the next person she fell 6 m of soft grass ground. If any one behind falls like dominos....

I went down and back up it in 1992 and there were no ropes back then.

In my time, 1991, no cabel car to this 2000 m Station, just a very,very scary ordinary seat lift. That may explain why so few people there at that time .. Still, I claim I made some 20 runs from 2500m and down to 2000, during easter saturday 1991 and will remember this with great, great joy for the rest of my life! Straight on the cable car lift up to 2500m again after each run, no queue whatsoever! The feeling when you came back on the front side of Brevent, over the crest, facing Mont Blanc, at some 2400m, simply amazing! Highly recommended!

Hi and thank you for the brilliant movies. Btw: I think the Pylones is the most legg condition challenging slope in Chx. It is wide but steep and looong for 2 lifts !

God I love this place

Oh c'est dur mais beau c'est... 😊 Choucas. Oh. 😊

Attention au profil c'est Karim rifaat c'est hasardeux

That looks miserable. Far too many people. Would rather hike & drop in somewhere else.

1 day :)

I skied the Vallee Blanche with my daughter in 2007. The arete at the top isn't for the faint of heart, particularly wihtout...crampons...We didn't have any. The whole experience is simply phenomenal !!!

When we were there just at the entrance one man who didn't want to wait jumped the rope on the left traversed down to end of the path.

1 day...

Thanks for the post - I was staying in Courmayeur with a group of friends in 1997 - they were due to to this run but it got cancelled due to truly foul weather. Looks fantastic.

Re walking down and back up.... I don't know. Its a one way journey. Id have to refer to the signage at the top.

The guides rope their groups and provide some crampons for those who don't have them. The ropes anchored into the arete is there during the ski season. Yes, you can descend in boots without crampons... up to you.

Can we go back up to the station instead of skiing down the slope? Basically just to walk down the ridge and back up?

Thanks for the video! Do they provide the safety rope for free? Are we allowed to go down this arête without crampons?

Hi. Do you think it is necessary to make the trip with a guide? It looks like just following the frequently used track. The problem with the guide is always the fixed datum and unpredictable weather for just this day.

Unfortunately the camera is not showing the steepness of the slope. Brevent is STEEP! Tx for the movie.

Philip, may I ask what song is used on this video from around 4m30 onward?

I got the bus from CHAMONIX SUD bus station on Avenue de Courmayeur at around 8.30am. There was a later bus an hour later. If memory serves correctly I bought the ticket at the station on the morning but at very busy times you're advised to buy it in advance. About 20 Euros return. You get off at the ENTRÈVES Funivia Skyway near the Mt Blanc lift and then walk down to the Val Veny lift. (You dont actually go to Couymayeur town). Then there's just the small matter of being back in time for the return bus at around 4.15pm.

Nice video , Courmayeur looks great , where about did you get the bus from in Cham ? Thanks

Nice video! What camera did you use btw?

Mr Reid the celestine prophecy needs to find its way home. thanking you in advance.

Hi Robert Thanks for the positive feedback. The last two years in the Alps have been food for the soul and returning this Winter to ski the Valleé Blanche and Chamonix Inc Le Tour literally put the icing on the cake. I'm hoping to complete my IML to have an excuse to return but will undoubtedly return anyway.... There are a lot of other treks to complete first. As I completed both the Haute Route and TMB solo and camping (some of the time) I scoured the Internet to find videos to help me prepare. I was grateful for the help and put these together to try in some small way to repay the favour.

Thanks for the great video. I've made this many times.

Thanks for the excellent video. I have made this trek many times.

Thanks for the excellent video. I have made this trek many times.

Looks like perfect weather. Good job. No fear!

I enjoyed watching all 11 stages.....can't wait to hike Tour du Mont Blanc this summer. Great video!

Thank you so much. There are hundreds of people out there and a lot of people more qualified than me to give advice. I can only post a short clip for each day and give an honest reflection of my personal journey. Best wishes for your trek..... food for the soul.

Thank you Philip! As you said, having this day by day videos in KZbin are great for planning. Also the descriptions are very informative. Thanks again.
