Skiers and snowboarders looking to experience Chamonix in its full “extreme” regalia need look no further than the Aiguille du Midi’s Vallée Blanche, which is the area’s famous glacier route. This zone is limitless—it’s 12 miles long—and can be everything from somewhat mellow and playful to incredibly steep and even dangerous, which is why Ski.com highly recommends hiring a professional guide.

For Chamonix expert skiing that’s a little less consequential, head up on the Grands Montets cable car, where you’ll find a slew of steep, ungroomed pistes. Many of the Grands Montets pistes are adjacent to the Argentière glacier and provide center stage views of the looming crevasses.
