La Rosière 1850
Family friendly ski resort with lift links to Italy and some more challenging skiing as well as the option to heli-ski!
Overview
La Rosière skiing
La Rosière is built in traditional chalet style high up on the road from Bourg-St-Maurice to the Petit St Bernard pass to Italy. There’s a main village and a newer satellite (Les Eucherts), a short bus ride – or a floodlit forest walk – to the east. La Rosière is lift linked with the Italian resort of La Thuile and has a great snow record. The two resorts, although unlikely stablemates, form a substantial ski area with plenty of long wide runs to please intermediates.
La Rosière also provides a useful gateway to some exciting heli-skiing over in Italy, enabling locals and ski holiday makers in France to heli-ski in Italy to their hearts' content - bookable through the Evolution 2 ski school, before returning to France's Tarentaise Valley. The combined area has 38 lifts and 145km of pistes.
La Rosière ski resort
La Rosière, although purpose built, is a gem of quintessential alpine charm. Off Piste activites are limited, although visitors are happy enough whiling away the evenings in the relaxed bars and restaurants (the Petit Danois is popular and offers Sky tv sports coverage. The locals are friendly and the prices are lower than most other Tarentaise resorts.
