Great day today for my little boy Victor, aged 8 : we go together up to the top of the Aiguille du Midi, to ski down the Vallée Blanche, Chamonix's most famous glacier descent. The weather is perfect, except for the wind, which blows so hard that the lift goes very slowly. On top of the Aiguille, I choose to wait before walking down the ridge. A good chocolate makes Victor feel much more confortable about this new adventure. Actually the ridge is easy, Victor slides down as on a toboggan, secured by the rope I hold. he is a good skier, and the descent itself seems him very easy. A great adventure for father and son !

Victor (a bit tired !) in the refuge du Requin, with Gilbert the hutkeeper.
