2-day ski tour on the Argentiere Glacier to discover one of the best ski touring area in the Chamonix Valley.
The Argentière area is a unique place. Easily accessible from the Grands Montets ski area, it is surrounded by several summits creating a stunning atmosphere. On the northern side, from the Verte to the Dolent, vertiginous and icy slopes exceed one thousand meters of height. On the southern side, the Chardonnet and the Aiguille d’Argentière take centre stage over sharp rocky ridges.
