The Skiers' Guide to La Rosière 1850

Great and varied resort - well linked with lifts for a group of mixed riders - so everyone can lift up together but ride down appropriate coloured runs

Great resort for families - everything localised, easy slopes for small children. Great linking slopes
Fun kids ski park, night ski display - lots for the little ones

Amazing resort, went as two couples and the snow was unbelievable and great coverage across to Italy as well. Something for everyone at all levels

A great family resort that is underrated. High up enough to get good snow, with a range of decent blues and reds.
Skiing into La Thuile is a nice addition, although lengthy time sink due to the distance required to get there and logistics to consider.

Not great for advanced skiers as there there’s very little in the way of difficulty.

There’s a few decent bars but it’s hardly apres ski central, but it’s not tough to have a good time here.

Recommended, if you’re looking for good snow, well maintained pistes at a decent price point.

I’ve been to La Rossiere a few times and it never fails to impress. The runs are groomed well and there’s a good variety for all levels of skier. The lifts are reasonably quick and never too busy. The busiest of lifts at the busiest times only take roughly 5-10 minutes of queuing. The food and après ski is good with options on the mountain and at base camp. The snow usually holds out till near the end of Easter but can get slushy in the afternoons lower down the mountain. Overall, one of my favourite skiing destinations. Would recommend!

Easy to get to, good quality accommodation, lovely open runs with access to Italy for more. Great resort for all levels particularly with good snow to offer varied off piste. Generally quieter than many resorts. Great selection of mountain restaurants!

The resort was lovely, family friendly and we all enjoyed it (children included). Everything felt walkable and there was enough to do for a week.

Great family resort. Loads of ski in ski out options. Quiet slopes and quiet in the evening. Always the option to ski into Italy to expand the runs.

The snow was hard packed and icy but the resort did a great job with the snow cannons getting the pistes in good condition for skiing. The link across to La Thuille was open 5 out of 6 days and opened the area to a great variety of blues and red runs where the north facing slopes provided softer snow and enjoyable skiing:

Stayed in a catered chalet as a couple with our young daughter. The chalet was excellent as were tge staff there. The resort was brilliant for families, loads of runs for all abilities and tge ootion to ski over into Italy and down into La Thuile through awesome.e tree lined runs. We did this on 2 days. Overall I would highly recommend this resort.

Stayed in a shared catered chalet and had an excellent experience although the food was fairly basic.
Quiet slopes but adequate for some low-intensity and relaxing skiing as was travelling with a novice skier so provided an excellent leaning experience.
Low key après ski in the village however did make some friends during the week.

A gem of the Tarantiese valley. South facing slopes look across to Les Arcs/La Plagne. Or follow the San Bernardino Pass to Italy! Great lifts and quite runs. A family friendly resort!

I learnt to ski here- had a great ski school and I was on a red by the end of the week! The school took us on loads of routes throughout the week which was great fun! The slopes weren’t too busy and they had a nice mix of all levels of slopes!

I absolutely love La Ros! A family friend has a chalet here so frequented a few times. Love the slopes and the access to Italy. Really lovely family friendly vibe when you get to know who’s around. Highly recommend.

We loved our trip to La rosiere !! It is a family friendly mountain but also for experts. So cool we can also ski in the italian side !

La Rosiere is truly a wonderful place. The skiing is wonderful, great wide slopes, mainly quiet even in the holidays and with the link to Italy it provides so much variety run wise.
Its a great family resort but also great for couples get away. There isnt much apres ski but we didn't mind that.
Lovely hotels and apartment. A shout for Hotel ILY and Alperena, we have stayed in both and they are wonderful.
Ski school and instructors also great. A gem in my eyes.

Having done a ski season in La Rosiere I can highly recommend it.
Quiet light queues, enough bars and restaurants to enjoy for a week and some great off piste between the runs.

Enjoy Le Comptoir (formerly the Petit Danois)

Lots of family friendly events too

I loved my experience here. The views were beautiful!!!! There were a few too many pull rope lifts for my taste particularly the one you had to take to get back to the ski storage room but the lockers there were spacious and I loved the ski in ski out aspect. There was also a shuttle from a further area of the mountain back to the hotel. I have enjoyed all the club med locations I’ve been to but the food here was definitely the best. The entertainment was fantastic as well, so much fun. I took Pilates and went in the jacuzzi and steam room. I didn’t actually get in the pool but it was gorgeous and the view from that side of the resort was stunning!!! I guess one downside is it’s 3 hours from Geneva airport but that’s probably true of most ski resorts

La Rosiere really is one of France's best kept secrets. South facing slopes, high snow sure resort, a huge ski area linked to La Thuile in Italy providing well groomed slopes for a variety abilities and stunning views along tge Iseran valley. A good selection of restaurants and bars, both on the slopes and in the villages. An excellent and broad selection of accommodation from luxury hotels and catered chalets to self catered apartments. It's a reasonably priced resort when compared to the neighbours like the 3 valleys and Eapace Killy. Family friendly with good entertainment. An excellent ice hockey team that plays on a Wednesday evening. I worked a ski season there and loved every moment. I go back as often as possible (winter and summer). La Ros gets 10/10!

Amazing resort for families. The slopes are really quiet. There is good access to slopes for beginners as well as advance with lots of off piste powder between runs. There is lots to do for non skiers too. Plus there’s always lots of snow and lots of sun in La Rosiere!
