Skiing 'sache' the longest single black piste in Tignes Val d'Isere.

[@darrengill7707]

It’s one of my favourite runs. It Just keeps on going.

Nice fondue at the bottom over the bridge.

I love the Val d’Isere and Tigne area. I now live in the USA and I miss skiing in the French Alps terribly. 😞 Thanks for sharing.

[@ivokoimecs]

Thanks! ... 😀👍

Grazie Ivo dopo trent'anni sono tornata con te al vallon della Sacher ,alla Brevieres pranzo all'etoille de neige un bacio ciao

[@audas]

The Go Pro smooths the ride out - so the bumps don't appear to be as bad as they really are.

Interesting to see that Marais chairlift there, which is gone nowadays, making the way back up to Aguile Percee quite an odyssey, unfortunately.

[@ivokoimecs]

Frankly, this chairlift was a nightmare - old, slow, long and cold af. I rode it once and never wanted again ... almost frozen to death ... :) But I agree returning to Aguille Percee is more challenging now. Thanks! ... :)

[@elho001]

@@ivokoimecs Hehe yeah, I totally see what you mean, the big problem is, the remaining Aguile Percee lift also is a very slow (non-decoupling) chair. Still a pretty cool area of the resort and hopefully one day there'll be newer replacements for the lifts (both applies to Col des Ves likewise).

Thanks Ivo, great video, evokes memory of my only run there in 2004.You and your Russian speakindg friends are very good skiers. Kudos !Do you have videos of Mt Gele in Verbier ? That could be fun to watch. BTW , i heading to Tignes in March , hopefully weather is ok then . Thanks again , Ivo !

[@ivokoimecs]

Many thanks!

Спасибо за видосы, очень вовремя👍 в субботу еду в Тинь. Что больше всего понравилось, есть рекомендации?

[@ivokoimecs]

Поздравляю, хороший выбор! Большое разнообразие трасс на любой вкус. Главный совет: вставайте пораньше, чтобы как можно больше откатать с утра, т.к к обеду всё разбивается. Французы и так готовят трассы без фанатизма, некоторые могут через день, особенно в снегопады, т.ч. надо ловить. Если уверенно стоите на лыжах, обязательно стоит попробовать "Потерянную долину" - уникальный опыт катания среди скал, только осторожно, с головой. Ну, и разумеется, знаменитая олимпийская чёрная "Фейс" - её в хорошо подготовленном состоянии трудно поймать, то лёд, то сугробы, но попытайтесь. Для новичков есть отдельная зелёная зона - кстати, вот Вам лайфхак: эти трассы вполне неплохие, и не разбиваются до самого вечера, т.ч. когда все остальные уже разбиты, там вполне себе неплохо можно покатать. И удачи! ... 😀👍

@@ivokoimecs спасибо огромное за столь познавательный ответ! Жду не дождусь уже субботы... Все видео пересмотрел :) Вам тоже удачи!

[@kevridge7923]

were the bashers on a usual French strike?

[@HuggieDuggie]

Thank you so much for the videos. We haven't been able to go skiing since 2018 and are desperate to go back to Val d'Isere for about the 10 - 15th time (not sure how many but lots of times). We're going in 4 weeks time and can't wait. Your videos bring back so many memories and reminders, especially Sache, Pisaillas and Face. When was the last time you were in Val? Cheers :-)

[@ivokoimecs]

Thank you! ... 😀👍

[@GHGH-qt9qt]

Great video! On difficulty - how does it compare to Face? I am in Val d’Isère this week and not sure if I can hack it

[@ivokoimecs]

Thank you! It has a few really steep sections at beginning and end, most of the time ungroomed, the middle part is pretty much flat and easy. I think the Face is better as it's much wider and more consistent, and it is groomed frequently, but can be icy sometimes. If you are a good skier, go for both ... at least once ... :)

[@michaelcole280]

You seem to have missed the lower section down through the trees. Did you bail out?

[@ivokoimecs]

Yea, the camera stopped a little bit too soon .. :) Actually, the lower section is a red piste called "pavot". Check one of my previous videos with a full run ... 😀👍

[@FXavierDiazLuccini]

👏👏👏

[@ivokoimecs]

Thanks! ... 😀👍

[@nonobeubeu8184]

what year was the video shot ?

[@ivokoimecs]

Feb 2020

[@vassilyakovchev6309]

Do they groom this "sache" trail? It looks like no grooming machine have been passed through it.

[@ivokoimecs]

Sometimes.

[@___ko___]

ноги устали на это смотреть

[@ivokoimecs]

Ага! ... 😀👍

[@RobertFrewen]

Only a few hundred metres of this run qualify as black. The rest is red at best (and the pole planting of the cameraman needs work)

[@counterfit5]

I ran out of skill just watching this
