Val d'Isere/Tignes - Henri, Blue

10th April 2017, 11:05
At the top of Tommeuses chair there's an open area where the Toviere gondola and the Tufs chair all arrive. We headed past the Tufs chair (0:10) and take a right after that onto Piste Henri, which heads down towards Val Claret. At 1:30 the piste opens out a bit and it's possible to head off right towards Tignes le Lac, via the Trolles black piste. Following down the Blue Henri however we then meet the Blue Prariond piste (4:00) which comes from the Col de Fresse (which is the other link between Val d'Isere and Tignes. This passes the mid-point of the Bollin-Fresse chair (4:15).
This chair starts at Val Claret and has 2 queues to get on it, as every 2nd chair goes to the Col de Fresse, with the intermediate chairs dropping off at this point, so make sure you get in the correct queue.
Anyway, at this point the piste is effectively the main nursery green run into Val Claret, however always very busy (as well as being steep for a green). We carried on down to go to the Lanches chair, which had big queues (6:10), as did the the Funicular (5:45).
