Beginners skiing and snowboarding in La Rosière
Learning to ski is easy in La Rosière due to the number of green and blue slopes across the ski area. There are good nursery slopes beside the main lifts, blue slopes close by for easy progression and the wide gentle pistes provide a good playground to learn on. There ski schools in La Rosière also offer private and group lessons in a friendly and relaxed environment so learning can be done at your own pace.
Intermediates skiing and snowboarding in La Rosière
This resort is really well suited to intermediates, with plenty of hugely enjoyable blue and red pistes as well as some lovely tree-lined runs dropping below the resort. Keen skiers will also enjoy the more varied terrain on the Italian side. Modern and comfortable chairlifts are found throughout the ski area meaning everything is well connected and you can reach the summit of the Fort - here you'll find unbeatable views of Mont Blanc.
Advanced skiing and snowboarding in La Rosière
Advanced skiers and boarders won't be disappointed as there are some good black runs, especially down to La Thuile and a lot of safe off-piste between the runs. There is a new black piste "Etagne" on the Mont Valaisan sector, this run has a 74% angled wall so it'll definitely be a leg burner.
Off piste and snow parks in La Rosière
The wide open slopes are good for free-riding and the terrain park above the village and boardercross provide plenty to entertain keen boarders. There is also a snow park to take advantage of, "Poletta Snowpark", with interlinking lines that increase in difficulty so you can master your tricks and grabs.
If you are looking for a challenge, there is a freeride area in the Mont-Valaisan area with an ungroomed black slope, located at the top of the Les Moulins chairlift offering a 425m drop - hiring a local guide is the best way to explore these slopes and can be arranged through the resort team.

The ski area of La Rosière-Espace San Bernardo has 6 kilometres of marked and maintained piste for cross country skiing enthusiasts. This includes 1 green piste of 500 metres, 1 blue piste of 1500 metres and 1 black piste of 4000 metres.

Discover La Rosière
Set high above the picturesque Upper Tarentaise valley, La Rosière is a brilliantly well thought out resort. Big enough to have all the facilities any skier could wish for, but small enough to be known as one of the Alps’ friendliest resorts. With beautiful wood and stone chalets, this resort is a perfect choice for couples and families wanting to spend some quality time together in a picturesque setting.
There are great places to stop for some food and a drink within the resort village and on the slopes. Try sampling some local specialities and treat yourself to a meal out or a simple ski refuel snack.
Some of our favourite locations include the snack bar 'Du Relais Du Petit Saint-Bernard'. Located at the bottom of the slopes, this bar offers some spectacular views of Mont Pourri and is a great place to stop for a quick refreshment or some light bites.
l'Alpagio in Hotel Alparena is a stylish, modern restaurant with a carved wooden bar and impressive wine cellar, serving a wide range of foods from slow cooked meats, raclette and fish - enjoy your food on the terrace with great views of the slopes and village.
It is also worth us mentioning that La Rosière is considered one of the quieter après ski resorts in the Alps and is a perfect option for those looking for a more peaceful and relaxing post-ski apéritif.
Many of the hotels across resort have fantastic spa and wellness facilities that are included in your holiday package. The spa located in Hotel Alparena is over 1000m² and has services available specifically for your wellbeing including a swimming pool and Japanese bath that have great views of peaks.
The spa found in Hotel Ily is also a fantastic choice with three cabins that are exclusive for beauty treatments that use natural and organic ingredients. You can find more on each specific hotel and residences' spa facilities on the individual accommodation pages.
The shopping in La Rosière is on the smaller side, but definitely stays up to date with the trends. Across resort you'll find a range of gift shops, sports shops, 2 supermarkets and some clothes shops. You'll be able to take a piece of La Rosière home with you as many of the gift shops sell clothes and novelty items like keyrings, postcards, toys, and jewellery.
You can also expand your snow sports wardrobe and treat yourself to something new with the many Intersport and Skiset shops dotted around the village - if you really want to splash the cash you can even treat yourself to some new snow equipment too.

Travel by train
We have a 7 night train option to La Rosière
This is a train that departs and returns Saturdays with a much shorter transfer of 40 minutes from Bourg St Maurice railway station.
Please see the drop down below for provisional timings.
The transfer to La Rosière will stop as chose as possible to your chosen accommodation. In some cases there may be a couple of minutes' walk due to regulations on where coaches can stop.
There is a traffic light system for the Tarentaise Valley. This system controls and slows down the traffic, stopping traffic sitting in dangerous places, like tunnels, where rocks can fall and to make snow clearing easier when it is snowing. This can impact your transfer time, meaning you may arrive into resort later and be leaving for the airport earlier.
Transfers may be longer during bad weather conditions or French school holidays. French school holidays span 20 Dec 25-05 Jan 26, 07 Feb-10 Mar 26 and 04-25 Apr 26.
Private transfers and self drive options are available.
