 Poster: A snowHead
|
I'm wanting to do the Valle Blanche at some point over the next few days and was hoping some of you out there might know of some guides you personally know, or have used, and can recommend.
Any input gratefully received.
Thanks

I'm skiing with a UIAGM guide this week, and that collective noun would get my vote.

Robbie Fenton, Kenton Kool.
Dave Cummins is also excellent and takes the BASI mountain courses.

From personal experience, Jim Kerr (Les Houches). Also heard good things about Jonny Baird.
And no, I'm not Scottish!

www.chamonix-sport-aventure.com E mail franck.chapon@mac.com Franck Chapernon-Diernaz, top bloke with some great stories to tell, unselfish and a great attitude. We had three days with him last May and would definetly use him again. Would not recommend Sebastien Laurent (Mountain Guide Adventure), he is an absolute helmet.

Forgot to mention Franck Chapon has same priority access as the Compagnie des Guides for Grands Montets cable car etc 'cos he's been there that long which is always useful

Thanks everybody.
Didn't use a private guide in the end as my skibuddy injured himself in the run up to our stay and we didn't feel we could do a guide justice given his hobbled condition.
Did ski the VB though (just used a group guide - more then slow enough for him to keep up  ).
Will use your list of recomendations to line something up for Easter.
Cheers
