Chamonix valley is well known for its challenging glacier off piste lines. Some of my regular clients in search of new skiing horizons had a really good time ski touring in the unknow swiss resort of Les Marécottes.
You cannot drive to Les Marécottes, wich is why it is so quite and unknow from the Chamonix ski bumbs. Drive to the swiss border above Vallorcine and park in the pittoresque swiss village of Finhaut. From there are regular alpin trains leading you to Les Marécottes in 10 minutes.
Contact me on that blog if you wish some more informations about the off piste lines.
