Chamonix vallee blanche
Am currently(july) at chamonix. Very interested in doing the vallee blanche traverse. But unfortunately, the gondola is close. So it will only be a loop.
And have been checking around, it seems that the group tour is close due to the cable cars are fully booked.
Was informed that I can take up the private guide, and he will be able to take me on the vallee blanche loop.
Do you think this is worth it? Is vallee blanche something everyone must do or see at least once?
Would really appreciate some advise.
Edit: Some add ons. This is my first and probably be my only time in the alps. I just happen to be in France for work and I have a week off. So I decided to visit the alps. This is something new to me.
This is my second day here. And I am loving it. Have done the grand nord from Aiguille du midi to monteverse. And lac blanc. Both my knees are half done.
But I am still curious about the vallee blanche. I read it is something like experience of a lifetime. And thay is exactly something that i am looking forward to. I am alsonquite adventurous.
The only thing is, it is a private guide. And it cost a bomb. But if it is worth it, I would just go for it. A well spent money is not wasted.
