Breche Puiseux...classic Chamonix Ski Tour

The Breche Puiseux is a classic Chamonix day tour! Access is via the Aiguille du Midi cable car from where you descend the VB to level with the Refuge du Requin and then head left and skin for 700m up over the Periades glacier. The terrain is glacial and as the photos show there is a 300m ascent up a steep couloir (40-45 degrees) - requiring ice-axe and crampons - to the col. From the col there is a great descent down the awesome Mont Malent glacier which takes you directly under the Grandes Jorasses, one of the biggest walls in the Alps...does it get any better than this!!?
