The Skiers' Guide to La Rosière 1850

The first time we skied La Rosiere in April 2018, we fell In love. With the resort, the people, the sun filled slopes and dining out. Luckily we found a chalet apartment for sale in quiet area of Gollet. Our 2nd home for 5 years and not a single regrets. A perfect resort for family holidays, couples, retirees.

Along with its twin village of Les Eucherts, La Rosiere is a great little resort with the amazing option to ski over to the resort of La Thuile in Italy, where the food is much cheaper! I'd describe La Rosiere and Les Eucherts as villages with a quieter vibe more suited to families and to those seeking a meal - or just a quiet drink - than to those party animals looking for lively nightlife. It's important to bear in mind that the link to Italy can close when the weather is unfavourable and that will, of course, greatly limit your piste options. That said, there is a great, unpisted black run in the lower section of La Rosiere, which takes you through or next to trees. The bottom of that run is also accesible via a much gentler slope, so groups can split up and each skier can find their own way down. At the bottom, the way back up to village level is via an ancient chair lift that takes you up and over the river. Fortunately, the resort have placed a large net there to prevent any unfortunate skiers from ending up in the water! A ride on that chairlift is a must-do for anyone skiing in the resort, in my view. - In summary, a great little resort. Maybe not one to visit every season, but it's certainly one that I enjoy returning to. The slopes have become a little busier in recent years as new accommodation options - including some quite upmarket ones - have sprung up in the resorts. For me, La Rosiere and Les Eucherts are really one resort. You can ski down to either and there is a path through the trees that allows you to easily walk from one to the other. I hope to ski there again before too long.

Amazing resort, no lift queues, great access to La Thuile, which offers varied skiing compared to La Ros. Very good untracked off piste.
