The Skiers' Guide to La Rosière 1850

One side of the mountain is in France and the other is in Italy. The ski pass gives you access to both sides. Main blue and red runs with not too much for beginners. The run down from the top to the Italian side is quite tiring, especially towards the end of the season when the snow becomes a bit slushy. Great views and several options for food. Would go back again.

Good resort, great spa’s next to the slopes with great facilities. Great to be able to aboard in Italy as well as France. The self catered accommodation we stayed at was large and relatively inexpensive. Overall a solid resort

Pretty resort almost zero nightlife fort is amazing no pistebashing so just blue moguls Tuesday night seems to have best nightlife bizarrely

I have stayed at this resort about 8 times since i was a child and it is very good due to its good slopes, good lift efficiency and family friendly environment. The fact that it is connected to La Thuile is also great to ski over to Italy. I would say it is more beginner friendly and advanced people would enjoy other places better. The ski school is also very good.

Lovely resort, great for all levels of skiers. A bit quiet in the evenings and the restaurants are expensive but good quality.

I loved this resort, really family friendly and quant, a real alpine village feel. The slopes were fantastic with plenty wide runs and tree lined too, variety everywhere for skiers and snowboarders alike.

Sadly there had been no fresh snow when we went so the slopes were icy and bare in places. The resort did a great job with snow canons building up the snow where possible. A lovely little resort with a great link across to Italy and lovey restaurants on the mountain. Beautiful. Would love to go back when there is some fresh snow

Lovely resort. It is fairly tailored to families but there is still some fantastic skiing available to all ranges. There are really good pistes, fun Reds. Head to the top right of the resort and there are some brilliant off piste that is easily accessible. Good touring location and you can also access La Thuile which has good skiing too.

there is a good range of restaurants on the mountain to cater for various people.

Quiet resort with excellent blue and reds, limited black runs.

Biggest issue is that to maximise the lift pass use you need to head into Italy which involves two button lifts.

La Rosiere is good resort that is significantly aided by its connection to La Thuile. La Rosiere itself has sweeping views, and by facing south skiers can stay warm. However, this same southern exposure gives a poorer snow quality than many competitors, which is noticeable during low snow levels or at the beginning or end of the season. Furthermore, this resort is also windier than others in the area. The proximity to the Bourg-Saint-Maurice rail station is a big plus, but it would be much more useful with a similar funicular or gondola connection like what neighboring Les Arcs has. Overall, if you want to ski La Thuile and it is easier for you to get to Bourg-Saint-Maurice than the town of La Thuile, I would recommend La Rosiere.

Really convenient lots of ski in ski. Out accommodation. Not a huge resort and links to and fLa Thuile is by drag lift and can have very long queues. Cheaper than some and good snow late in the season. Easily accessible off post tracked out very quickly!

Really good resort for families. Been visiting for years. Kids love it. Nice to ski over to Italy for the day.

My first “proper” ski trip and we did the all inclusive stay at Club Med. Ski-in Ski-out was very useful and the lessons were great. At the end of 5 days I felt confident enough to go down a few trickier blue runs with friends who are better skiers. Limited Apres as not many bars but what was there was very fun - having Paradis bar a 30 second ski away from the hotel was great so I actually could enjoy having a beer an not having to worry about getting back down too much! Very friendly people, lifts were not crowded although this may have also been time of year. Would highly recommend to people with families or beginners who want to take advantage of lessons.

Returning to La Rosière after many years, it still feels like home. We stayed at Sky La Rosière which was good value for money and of a very high quality for our group of 11. The resort has plenty of skiing for all levels, despite the limited number of blacks. La Thuile is easily accessible on days when the wind whips down from Fort. We were lucky with the snow, and there was plenty of accessible off piste.

Very sad to see that Fontaine Froide is very rarely open these days, it was my favourite as a child and it wasn’t open despite copious snow.

Nonetheless, a fantastic, homely resort with great food on and off the mountains, a fantastic ESF school and exceptional skiing. If you’re after après, La Rosière probably isn’t for you, but otherwise, you’ll have a great time.

Great family friendly resort with easy runs. Was not too busy. The Apres was great. All round very good experience

This was my first time skiing in Europe, the lifts the runs were absolutely magical! We skied at La Rossiere from France to Italy! The runs were well groomed and the resort is family friendly. Please be advised that the signs for runs and skiing between two countries is limited so always make sure to keep a close eye. Other than that, what a way to grab a croissant in the morning, ski and get unforgettable pasta for lunch with just in time to have a lovely fondue at night!

The groomed runs were amazing - there was a fresh dump the night we arrived. Most slopes are south facing so the snow has a tendency to disappear quickly - especially on subsequent windy days.
We found a really nice tree lined run all the way down to Seez - which was nice to do first thing in the morning, although I suspect this quickly becomes unskiable without fresh dumps.

The lifts were not busy (although some were quite old and could do with a refresh.)

There's an interesting ski over to Italy although it does entail a never-ending POMA drag lift that took a few snowboarding casualties along the way! But it is worth it to ski some of the areas in La Thuile, and for the reward of hot chocolate and pizza (at Italian prices!)

There isn't much to do in La Rosiere itself with very few bars and limited restaurants but the accommodation (La Roc Noire) was excellent for our self-catering group and we took plenty of our own alcohol anyway!!

There are plenty of interesting pistes for beginner/intermediate skiers but not much of a challenge for advanced skiers. I would go there again but it is definitely dependent on snow conditions due to the south-facing aspect of most slopes.

Have been to this resort many times. If you are a mad skier not for you. It has many red blue green runs. Wide slopes. Great for intermediate and beginners

Great resort but as no snow had fallen since beginning of December was hard to rate a lot of options. Skied to la Thuile in Italy most days for the better snow and cheaper lunches.

Absolutely La Rosiere - great variety of runs, easy access to lifts and so much terrain to explore - even over to La Thule in Italy.
