5 Reasons to Ski in La Rosière

If you are looking for a less well-known resort that offers a fantastic snowsports experience, then look no further than La Rosière! This hidden gem of a resort is tucked away on the Italian border within the Espace San Bernado ski area and has a lot to offer. Whether you are a complete beginner or a pro looking for some new adventures, you will have plenty to explore. Below you will find 5 reasons, why you should make La Rosière your next winter holiday destination!

 

#1 Cross border skiing

Since 1984 it has been possible to cross the border into the Italian resort of La Thuile, adding a different dimension to skiing in this region. Via some long drag lifts, you can get across and sample la dolce vita. On the Italian side you will find some more challenging slopes with well groomed reds and some black slopes. It is a great advantage for those at an intermediate to advanced level when staying at La Rosière!

#2 New ski area

For the 2018/2019 season the resort saw a great new addition to its offering with a whole new ski area opened up on Mont Valaisan. There are now two new 6 pack chairlifts to transport you there where you will find 5 new red runs. This addition has created a much more diverse range of slopes to explore and made an already great resort even better.

#3 Quiet resort

As La Rosière is rather outshone by the more well-known resorts of Tignes and Val d’Isère, it is usually nice and quiet. While you will not quite get the slopes all to yourself, you will have plenty of space! This is perfect for beginners who can practice without the pressure of being surrounded, as is often the case at busier resorts.

 

#4 Traditional Savoyard charm

La Rosière is built in the traditional Savoyard style with quaint wooden chalets and cosy bars and restaurants. There is very little through traffic, making the village the perfect place to relax in peace and quiet. While you will not find a lively nightlife, there are plenty of places to enjoy a drink amongst the friendly locals. You can also sample some of the delicious local fare, perfect to revive you after a long day on the slopes!

#5 Stunning landscape

Finally, at La Rosière you can enjoy stunning panoramic views across the Isère Valley and the see the dramatic peaks of Mont Blanc, Mont Pourri and Aiguille Rouge. With its usually sunny weather the views are breathtaking, especially from the 2650 m summit of the resort!
