Grand Montets Chamonix

Hi
We are skiing again in the Chamonix valley next month. I want to go up the grand montet area as weve not been there before as it all looks very steep. Looking for some chalenging but not impossibly steep skking, we are good red run skiers. Is this area good?

Is the itinery black run point du vue expert only, i'd like to try it as the views sound spectacular, but dont want us to get stuck on it.

Any one got any comments?

Grand Montets are steep, but red runs are very skiable, just take it easy and it will all click. You can actually ski from the top of Bochard gondola all the way down to Argentier lift. As for the black Point de vue, if you are really up for it, I'd recommend take a lesson. It's a "piste" but it's not groomed, so you need to be able to adjust your technique to the terrain. You also need to be able to ski bumps and/or throw in an occasional hop turn here and there. It's a very long descent too. But it's probably one of the most spectacular runs ever, well worth attempting. If you are good red runs skiers with some instruction you should be able to do it.
