1. The 22km run you've mentioned in Cervinia actually ends in the neighbouring resort, Valtournenche. 2. No, you don't need your passport, as both Italy and Switzerland are in the Schengen area. 3. There is a more challenging long run In Zermatt, which is somewaht shorter, but shoud still make the top 10 list: from Klein Matterhorn down to Zermatt, 2200m descent, around 13.5km long. The Furgg to Furi section is a reasonably challenging black that gets bumpy in the afternoon. The section above it, Trockener Steg to Furgg is a reasonably challenging red run as well. If you want excitement, forget the Klein Matterhorn to Valtournenche one. Go down non-stop to Zermatt and your knees will be shaking!
Oh, and it so expensive to go by a taxi from Cervinia to Zermatt because it is a 219km journey one way. You better stay in a hotel overnight, or pay someone to take you up to the ridge on a snowmobile in 30 minutes. Both are way cheaper than a taxi.
Actually, that one is not that extreme compared to the descent of many ski mountaineering peaks. It is a long descent and it has easy acces, but ski mountaineering on a 4000er will get you ~2500m descent most of the time and many of the high 3000ers will give you ~2000m vertical descent. Also, I think this should not be compared to the average resort run, as this is a pure alpine experience with your own route finding and being responsible for your own safety. This is not nearly the same as skiing down some marked and avalanche controlled ski route in a resort, not to mention a groomed run
Also in the french alps is the 14km Cascades blue run in Grand Massif. It goes all the way from the highest point in Flaine to the lowest point in the village of Sixt.
yup was about to say that, a very fun trail when there has been some snow recently and it's not too icy, quite a scenic view of frozen waterfall, I do recomend
I did the Cervina, Italy run last year. I am an intermediate-advanced skier and had no problems with doing it in a lot less time than 3 hours. We did lunch in Italy and got back in plenty of time to do some more laps on Swiss side. As stated, most of the run is easy, cruising terrain. The entire run would probably be ranked as green at Jackson Whole :)
Yesterday I was about to go la serenne but I got my internal lateral ligament pulled grade 2 so no skiing for 4 weeks. And I have done tres Marias and it’s sooooooo pretty
About the Cervinia run, firstly it’s Cervinia with an i, not ‘Cervina’, and secondly I believe the actual longest run is the one that goes on beyond Cervinia all the way to Valtournenche. Lunch recommendation: Foyer des Guides, near the bottom.
I went to Gornergrat by train for the best view of Matterhorn, had a stop at Riffelberg's Heini's bar for a few beers in a chaise longue, he gave me some sun cream for free, enjoyed the timeless view. Then went down with the same train to stop at Riffelalp to walk to eat at Al Bosco, a ten minute snow walk from the station. spend a lot of money, saw an avalanche. It was father's day my daughter was with me. I can die happy. Too old to do any skying. Enjoy life all the mountain lovers.
Nice video! You should do one on the longest known ski descents. For example, from the top of mt Rainer, you can ski down via fuir finger to the nisqually bridge which comes to an insane 12,000ft vertical run. I’m curious what other runs stack up to that.
Even though all the runs are impressively long, the ski resorts you mentioned have exaggerated their actual distances, inflating the number of runs by 25% to 50%, with the exception of Revelstoke. In the case of Sölden, what they claim as a single run is actually a combination of three, and it still doesn't reach 15 kilometers, despite its impressive length and even greater vertical drop.
Vallée Blanche is on my list, even though I have not much back country experience (so I might get a guide and rent avalanche gear). didnt know about the one in Bulgaria
Wait how does it take all day? If it’s 14 miles and you’re going on average 10 - 20 mph, it should only take around an hour. The only explanation I can think of is if you’re taking a lot of breaks, but it seems ridiculous to take 10x more breaks than actual skiing.
I did the Vallee Blanche on a snowboard with a guide about 18 years ago. It took us a about an hour and a half and we weren't going fast. The slow bits were threading our way through the glacier. There are various routes, I don't know how long the other ones are. The whole thing takes a while because you've got to be careful with the ridge walk at the top, we wore crampons, and we had a hike at the bottom up some metal stairs to get out of the ravine.
In Chamonix, on popular days, it can take, first 1-2 hours to get up with the gondola, Then you spend 1 hour admiring the scenery and then 1H30min to get down the edge from Aguile du Midi and then you stop every 300 meters, so the guide can have the group together to give informations on the next section. It is also wery high, 3500m, so it is much harder to breath than most other places. Then you have the walk either to the gondola taking you up to the train station at Montenvers, or you walk up to where you take your skis back on and ski the last part down to Chamonix, if there is enough snow. So i would say it takes a full short day. I have taken the lift up at around noon and done 2 trips all the way down to chamonix, no train, in one day. I have done most combinations, Coloire Cosmic, Glaciere Ronde and Valle Blanch, like Cosmic-Ronde or Ronde and Valle Blanch in one day, but i have stil not done the Tripple, all 3 of them. I have taken the lift up at 01Pm and the people opperating the gondola, looked so strange at me, I found ot why when i got at the top. It had been snowing untill late morning, so when i was on top of the edge, it was no tracks at all and i was the first and only persone skiing in Valle Blanch that day. All in all i have skied from Aguile du Midi more than 100 times.
In Bansko the half of the piste what you counted is a ski road where you more likely push yourself down with your poles. Not really fun, it is just mitigates the line for the gondola.
Amazing video and content but I think I've spotted a mistake. You said Bulgaria and wanted to show Bulgaria on the map but instead showed Greece for some reason
Actually I am not aware of many slopes mentioned in this video. However I know well the slope descending from Matterhorn to Cervinia. This slope, called “Ventina” is far shorter than described in the video. , its official length is 8,5 km and a medium level skier can do it in less than 15 minutes. In Italy is longer the slope coming down from the Marmolada glacier, it is 12 km.
There’s no taxi between Cervinia and Zermatt, simply because there’s no road between the two. But a mountain range with the lowest point being 10.000 feet height mountain pass ( only walking ) . So if you remain stock on the wrong side, you either sleep there, or pay for an helitaxi. Which can fly on,y with good weather.
I did la valle blanche when i turned 7 with my dad and mom The first part that you do without skis was completely frozen, no snow only ice and my father and i were kinda skiing that part while my mother was holding onto her life cause she was scared At first the guide didn’t want to take us because i was a little kid but when i did the first turns he not only accepted but took me through the hard part called la pante de ronyon
I have skied 3 and 2…. both are awesome in different ways 😵 Number 1 is still on my to do list! 🙄 For number 3, if you miss the last lift back, it can cost up to $900 to get a taxi back to Zermatt! 😱
pist-eh 🤣. I love the La Sarenne run, definitely a favorite. For the Zermatt/Cervinia Matterhorn run, your stats are definitely off. The 'official' run is down to Zermatt and is 8.2 miles and 7350ft descent. The longest continuous run down to Cervinia is only 6.6 miles and 6000ft descent, though my favorite is going further down to Valtournenche, 8.5 miles and 7,700ft descent, though there is short lift in the middle so it is kind of cheating. In general I think all the official distances are a bit inflated, I've never measured La Sarenne anywhere close to the claimed 16km on any of my runs nor on mapping tools like fatmap. Also I'd argue Vallee Blanche is a bit of cheating as it's not an official run, it's technically backcountry not really a free-ride.
at Verbier, I once skied from the summit of Mt Fort to Le Chable at the base (and well below Verbier itself) which is a vertical drop of (3330m to 820m) 2510m or a bit over 8,200 feet. Am very surprised this is not on the list. The lower section through the trees was most difficult but I'd say it was a red, a very very LONG red.
I sometimes see this run listed on 'longest ski runs', but I think because it's technically backcountry to ski off the west side of Mont-Fort and also not an official run down to Le Chable either. I'll be at the 4 vallees in a few weeks so I'm very curious if there will be enough snow to do this run, probably not.
@@kylelegg6837 yes, it depends on recent snow, when I did it it was late January, too many years ago, and even a few days after heavy snow, the snow conditions on the lower slopes and through the trees were, shall I say, better suited to rental skis than getting your own all banged up. Still, it's a great run, please give my regards if you happen to frequent Le Pub lol
@@kylelegg6837 There are a couple of other runs you may enjoy, depending on your taste and of course the weather. The classic 4 vallees tour is one, I once guided a bunch of Brits in our chalet on it In terms of difficulty if you can do the mogul slop of Tortin, you can do it However, it's a very long day start before 9, so easy going on the gluewein and schnapps the night before. You need to be back at Siviez by approx 2pm before the gondola to Plan-du-Fou, from there the run down to La Tzoumaz is definitely backcountry, I made a memorable faceplant in poor visibility down there, and since the road/lane/track that led to the La Tzoumaz lift station (to get to Savolyres) was snowy, we got to trek along it for 1/2 mile, not to the enjoyment of all But we made it, back to chalet, same building as Le Pub, 5pm-ish, and absolutely knackered were we all. Another was a trip the chalet organised to the St Bernard Pass, about an hour's drive away in a minibus On the Swiss side there were a couple of drag lifts to practice, then over the top into Italy, no passports (but you will need one to get back) or border guards This also is backcountry and you probably need to be with a guided party. I regret you might not meet a large shaggy dog with a bottle of brandy around its neck, however there's a pizza/beer place at the bottom before minibus back through the tunnel, back over the border and Verbier. I've been to Verbier 4 times for total of 10 weeks, although one of those trips involved an unforeseen trip to the Univ of Lausanne Hospital to put a few bones back together again. Enjoy your trip, I#d like to here about it afterwards if you can!!! Cheers, Simon
@@Tom-dt9gs Yes, we had a few days before there was a 3 day fall, and apparently building insurance in Switz. only covers roofs if there is a meter of less of snow, so get someone up there with a shovel. Four of us retired to a warm dark room (bar) for a couple of days, conditions were such. So it was a lot of snow, but still dodgy lower down towards Le Chable. I take your point that there is no piste going down to Le Chable, but having said that, neither is there in Vallee Blanche, and that made top of this discussion's author's list.
You totally butchered the pronounciation of "Schwarze Schneid". It literally means "black blade" or rather "black ridge", as "Schneid" can also refer to a sharp ridge.
The time indications on some of these resorts must a joke!? 3 Hrs for 22km purely downhill! What? I cover that on the flat with my xc-skis, not skating, but classic. LOL!
Really enjoy your videos. But, I’m confused by some of your estimated timeframes. I have skied zermatt before. I have done the longest run. I honestly had no clue until this moment it was the longest run in the world. It was certainly long enough that it stuck with me and I mentioned it at the time to my friends and family. But 3hrs?! No way. Not a chance. Just taking your figures of 13miles. Averaging 13mph which would to me be on the very slow side of skiing, and breaking for 1min every 4mins which would be a ton of breaks to me. You’d finish in 1hr 15mins. I think I probably average 25mph. And would finish in about 30-40mins. Very long run for sure. I just don’t know where 3hrs came from. That’d be and average of 4.3mph. Which is like a brisk walk down the mountain.
Yeah, only the top 25% are really a black. The middle bit should be a red and the bottom is easily a blue/green. It's also nowhere near 16km nor do I think it comes close to the 2000m descent claimed. Still really really fun!
The run in Alpe d Huez is only medium difficult at the beginning, the majority is a boring slow track, especially the last part, the Vallée Blanche in Chamonix is also quite boring, nice views, but technically very disappointing, I would rate the one in Solden number 2 and the run from zermatt to Cervinia number 1, the view on the Matterhorn makes also for it ! 🤩✌️
The last spike looks like if you added half a mile of flat space in the valley, so you could boast with it having 10 miles, there would be no difference in what it looks like at any point. This is sledge slope, not for skiing. Most of the slopes on the list are a laugh, an ipressive number on your advertisement of the resort, but nothing more. Burning legs, from the last one possibly, otherwise no.
It would require a video longer than this one to correct all the inaccuracies said here
1. The 22km run you've mentioned in Cervinia actually ends in the neighbouring resort, Valtournenche.

I thought the same thing 🤔 I always thought the Valtournenche run was unposed to be THE longest in Europe? 🤔
Your legs will be burning for weeks after doing the last one
Rub some snow on it
Actually, that one is not that extreme compared to the descent of many ski mountaineering peaks. It is a long descent and it has easy acces, but ski mountaineering on a 4000er will get you ~2500m descent most of the time and many of the high 3000ers will give you ~2000m vertical descent.

Actually, it s one of the most easy one, there s only 1 steep part..
It’s easy! Picturesque, long but easy.
I did it after skiing only for the 3rd time!
40 years ago.
… legs will burn in particular if snow cover forces you to walk the last vertical km … been there done that
Also in the french alps is the 14km Cascades blue run in Grand Massif. It goes all the way from the highest point in Flaine to the lowest point in the village of Sixt.

Bansko does not offer any night skiing. It hasn't for many years. If you want night skiing, you have to go to Borovets instead.

Vallée Blanche "lodges throughout the run" made me laugh so loud, there is one mountain hut, the refuge du Requin along the main course of the routes.
3 Hours from matterhorn glacier to Cervinia? Bruh i went there like 15 times and i can tell you you can make it in less than 15 minuts 😂
Maybe for an average / intermediate skier, and accounting for the chairlifts it takes to reach the top

if there was ever a yter with too little subs it would be this one
He just started yt a momth ago and only has 5 videos. If he keeps it up he will get big but it takes awhile.
3:00 No matter how "pro" you are, if you need to avoid other people, you can't be going at the 102 mph it takes to go 6.8 miles in 4 minutes.
With the actual length of around 3.5 miles, a speed of 52.5 mph would not be unrealistic for a true pro
From where you are Geting your data ? It seems like you miss somenslopea for example: that one on Les 2 Alpes ( 16 km)

thats cool

So . . . kind of cool, but skiing 10 mile long cat track . . . you’re on skis, so I guess we’ll call that skiing.
Well, then why's it only 10 minutes?!?
The Jackson Hole average slope is 6 degrees. I don't think it's too challenging

Right, you pronounce it as you would pronounce ‘shnyde’. Otherwise it sounds too close to shneedle. 😅
my time on L'alpe d'huez is 9:17 with a lot of ppl so i could just full send it :D
This was borovets night skiing not bansko !
Cervinia is in Italy, not France
Stating the length in km and the vertical drop in feet. 🤣
done peak to creek about a thousand times
La sarenne is said to be all black be realistically I remember the last 3 k feeling like a green at mist😅
Yeah, only the top 25% are really a black. The middle bit should be a red and the bottom is easily a blue/green. It's also nowhere near 16km nor do I think it comes close to the 2000m descent claimed. Still really really fun!
Yes, the tunnel run is harder.
I like the Aiguille Rouge run in Les Arcs more, the gradient is more consistent top to bottom.
i did the run from the matterhorn to Cervinia
The run in Alpe d Huez is only medium difficult at the beginning, the majority is a boring slow track, especially the last part, the Vallée Blanche in Chamonix is also quite boring, nice views, but technically very disappointing, I would rate the one in Solden number 2 and the run from zermatt to Cervinia number 1, the view on the Matterhorn makes also for it ! 🤩✌️
Nice video, but hare ur american accent 😮

I wish. Typed this thing out by myself. Took several hours between the research and writing
CERVINIA IS IN ITALY
The last spike looks like if you added half a mile of flat space in the valley, so you could boast with it having 10 miles, there would be no difference in what it looks like at any point. This is sledge slope, not for skiing.
Most of the slopes on the list are a laugh, an ipressive number on your advertisement of the resort, but nothing more. Burning legs, from the last one possibly, otherwise no.
