The Vallee Blanche, Chamonix’s White Valley, perhaps the longest single ski run in the world. Sounds like fun, doesn’t it? Just one small detail – before you can put your skis on you have to negotiate a little thing called the Arete… Slip through those two strands of rope to your left, and it’s a 2 kilometre drop… Watch this through to the end, if you dare, and ask yourself – why aren’t crampons compulsory on this thing?
