Description

Vallée Blanche Ski Descent – Courmayeur Skyway : Begin your adventure on the Italian side of Mont Blanc with a true taste of la dolce vita. We start the day in Courmayeur, perhaps with an espresso in hand, before boarding the spectacular Skyway Monte Bianco to Punta Helbronner (3,466 m). From the terrace, the imposing south face of Mont Blanc towers above — the perfect backdrop before we set off into the legendary Vallée Blanche. Our descent leads through an awe-inspiring world of glaciers and granite spires, skiing over 20 km of pure alpine magic down towards Chamonix. Guided by an IFMGA-certified professional, you’ll experience a seamless blend of Italian charm, world-class skiing, and unforgettable high-mountain scenery.

Originally from Sweden, Christian first discovered his love for skiing as a child in Austria. His curiosity about the natural world led him to Italy in the early 2000s, where he pursued theoretical physics — but it was in the Alps that his true passion for the mountains flourished. Today, Christian has traded research and equations for ropes, ice tools, and skis, working full-time as an IFMGA-certified mountain guide. He follows the rhythm of the seasons: rock climbing in spring and autumn, ice climbing and skiing through winter, and alpine climbing in summer. Christian brings a calm, thoughtful approach to guiding — combining technical expertise with genuine enthusiasm for sharing the mountain environment. His goal is to create safe, inspiring, and memorable experiences for everyone who joins him in the mountains.
