Snow report Chamonix, 01/13/2026

The conditions on the Aiguille du Midi are exquisite, without the crowds. We took the first gondola up and then toured to the Col d'Entrèves. Then towards the Skyway gondola and down the Vallée Noir. There is no powder but super nice light snow. Few people are out and about, you'll probably still find untracked terrain in the next few days (especially in the Vallée Noir area, exit is fine!). No avalanche activity detected, except for cracks from spontaneous descents over the last few days in steep terrain (Envers). You can even ski down to the valley if you have stone skis on and fancy an adventure. Despite not entirely satisfactory snow conditions, the conditions up there are great.
