La Rosiere

Almost unheard of by the British ski community, this intermediate resort is linked to La Thuile in Italy’s Val D’Aosta in the shadow of Mont Blanc. We ski the sunny slopes of La Rosiere in the morning and then head across the historic Col de Petit St Bernard for a vast and inexpensive Italian lunch in one of the many restaurants in La Thuile. We’re back in France after a couple of hours more skiing. La Rosiere is ideal for families as the pistes are fairly tame and the sun shines endlessly. What few people know however is that La Rosiere actually receives more snow each year than Val D’Isere!
