Pistes & parks
The La Rosière ski area forms the cross-border Espace San Bernardo together with the Italian La Thuile. Winter sports enthusiasts can expect a total of 152 kilometres of pistes of all levels of difficulty, served by 38 lifts. La Rosière lies at an altitude of 1,850 metres and the slopes reach up to almost 2,800 metres - snow is therefore guaranteed from mid-December to the end of April. Sunny south-facing slopes on the French side offer marvellous views, while the north-facing slopes near La Thuile provide particularly good snow conditions. Freestylers will find two snow parks in La Rosière (for different levels) as well as a boardercross and several snowcross routes. Freeriders also get their money's worth: there are secured off-piste routes for deep snow fans. There are also two official toboggan runs for families. You can check the current weather and snow conditions in La Rosière at any time on SNOWELL.
Other activities
La Rosière has just as much to offer away from the slopes. Several cross-country ski trails and winter hiking paths through the snow-covered mountain landscape invite you to enjoy yourself away from the hustle and bustle. Guided snowshoe hikes are a great way to explore the unspoilt nature around La Rosière. For the adventurous, trendy sports such as snowkiting or speedriding are on offer - ideal for getting the adrenalin pumping. Heliskiing is a particular highlight: on the Italian side of the ski resort, experienced skiers can take off by helicopter to enjoy untouched deep snow descents (heliskiing is not permitted in France). Things don't get boring in La Rosière in the evening either: there are occasional night skiing events where you can glide down into the valley on floodlit pistes.
Après-ski & culinary delights
Although La Rosière is a rather cosy resort, the après-ski and gastronomic offerings have nothing to hide. A total of nine cosy ski huts and mountain restaurants in the ski area invite you to take a break - you can indulge in culinary delights on both the French and Italian sides. The mix of Savoyard and Italian cuisine is what makes it so appealing: from hearty raclette or fondue to original Italian pizza, there is something for every taste. After the lifts have closed, the village continues to be tranquil. A number of bars and pubs offer the opportunity to round off the day's skiing in a cosy atmosphere with a vin chaud or cocktail - La Rosière scores more with its relaxed, family-friendly après-ski atmosphere than with party hype.
