The appointment with the guide will be on the main square in front of the Aiguille du Midi cable car station in Chamonix. Once all the safety equipment is in the backpacks and the ski passes are in possession, we go up the two sections of the cable car.

Here we are at the Aiguille du Midi, the guide, with the help of the many panoramic platforms, give you an overview of the most emblematic summits of the massif and the Alps.

Before starting, everyone will be equipped ( harness, skis / surf on the backpack, DVA plugged) aided by the guide.On then take the impressive ridge of the Aiguille ropped with the guide, mandatory passage, to take place on a comfortable snow platform. This ridge is during the high season, equipped with rope railing and the track is worked by a team to make it accessible to the greatest number. The way is more spectacular than difficult.

Once on the platform, we put on the skis. From there several descents are possible, only the guide will have the expertise on this choice taking into account the snow conditions, the weather, the level of the group, the desires.

During the descent, it will be possible to stop at the Requin hut for lunch. Or, if you prefer a picnic, the guide will find you a safe place to eat.
