The Skiers' Guide to La Rosière 1850

My first ever ski trip & La Rosiere has really set a standard for me. As a complete beginner with only a few lessons prior this was a dream to be as a first resort. There are a diverse amount of slopes from Greens to Blacks for all leveled skiers which was perfect as my partner is much more experienced.
The atmosphere in La Rosiere is incredible with the iglu bar and the variety of restaurants and bars in the town makes it a great place to holiday.
Alongside this if youre not really up for skiing or its not a great day theres other activities like the cinema, x-luge the incredible toboggan/ mountain rollercoaster which is amazing and lets you see all views whilst enjoying a thrilling ride. The ice skating rink which is great fun!
Overall I absolutely adore La Rosiere and will be back as its such a great place and quieter than other more well known places which makes it perfect for beginners.
The link to La Thuile also is an added bonus if you want more runs to explore! I didnt personally as I found the runs more than enough for me but great for people in a group of different expertise
Again, would highly recommend La Rosiere as its my favourite ski resort and ticked all my personal boxes for a ski holiday.

I did a season here, had some amazing off piste opportunities and good pistes too. I loved that you can ski into Italy from the resort (with the right lift pass) and spend the day over in La Thuile too. The Apres is okay, not the greatest but definitely not the worst either. However the nightlife is pretty good- which kind of makes up for it. Theres plenty of good restaurants and bars both on and off the slopes! Overall I had an amazing time!!!

We visit this resort yearly and is perfect for our needs. The variety of runs are great, with the option of skiing over to Italy as well. My youngest daughter learnt to ski here in ski school and was amazing. Can't wait to return in March 2025.

La Ros can be super windy but the bowl inbetween it and La thuile, plus La thuile itself, can have radically different conditions on the same day. So you can often find great runs on a bad day. Its not nightlife oriented but its pretty enough to walk around. Well priced too. Only real issue is snowboarders find the bowl hard work.

This place is amazing. I was a first time skier in January 2024. Id only had 1 day in an indoor ski at home in the UK so having a wide range of green and blue runs was exactly what I needed. The one red run I was duped into doing wasnt actually that bad for a person whod only just learnt how to parallel ski. Theres plenty of zones for kids and minors to hone their skills before trying out the main runs. Overall Id definitely recommend to anyone new to skiing or looking for a family friendly resort.

Great family orientated ski resort with little nightlife, quiet pistes and an efficient, easy to navigate lift system.

Really good snow conditions. South facing French side so warm but the snow holds well in the valley.

The ski link to Italy is two, long drag lifts which could be improved. But skiing in the Italian side is a totally different experience. North facing, with lots of long, cruisy reds and blue routes to choose from to ski all the way from the peak to the La Thuile resort at 1450m.

Never ate on the Italian side (had to be back in La Rosiere for lunch time ski school pickup) but the lunch options in France were varied enough in quality and price.

Fantastic resort for familied and all abilities. Linking to La Thuile in Italy provides enough variety to please all skiers.

Village has a nice atmosphere and the resort is much quieter and authentic than many of the bigger resorts in the same valley.

Perfect for families, quiet slopes and untouched off piste for more advanced skiers.

The village has a nice feel to it - it's not soulless like some of the bigger resorts in the valley. The chance to ski in Italy is fantastic and provides lots of options for skiing and eating.

Good prices, good feel and great skiing :)

High resort so fairly snow sure. South facing so plenty of sunshine. Linked to La Thule in Italy so huge terrain. Fabulous views to Mont Blanc and Mont Pourri. Great for families and beginners but also some steep black in Italy and plenty of off piste. Great quality restaurants and good choices of accommodation for all budgets. Reasonably priced ski pass. 3 airports within 3 hrs and Bourg St Maurice 30 minß away for train, so easy to get to. Can drive/shuttle from London in 12hrs. Superb resort

Fernie is awesome, amongst the best of the rockies. tree runs combined with off piste kept our group happy.

La Ros is built for a quiet and comfortable experience for skiing the week! Being able to ski into Italy makes your days varied and the range of cuisine in both variety and price make it accessible to all!

Family resort. Can be very sunny as all south facing. Good for new skiers but has some great offpiste that is accessible and fun. Large open slopes so you can go wherever in safety of not going over a cliff. Access to Italy for some fun skiing too

Nice quiet resort, easy to get ski in ski out accomodation at a reasonable price. Good variety of runs for beginners and intermediate. Easy to access the whole of La Thuile resort on the italian side of the mountain too.
Great teaching from ESF. Probably a little quiet on the apres front but I prefer that. Good for families, or people wanting a quieter trip.

Ive been skiing in La Rosiere regularly for about 15 years. The resort has grown massively, lots of new hotels etc., which has made it fair busier in recent years but this has come with new lifts and theyve begun expanding the ski area. Not much night life but plenty of nice bars/restaurants and super family-friendly .

We stayed at clubmed, ski school was excellent and hotel was ski-in-ski-out. Slopes were quiet and lifts didnt have big queues. Snow was very good and there was a decent enough range of slopes.

I skied here with my family and it was awesome, the resort had a brilliant ski school for my younger brother, it was organised and he enjoyed every day. The snow was brilliant and their is the longest button lift in the alps going all the way to Italy allowing a large range of different slopes and cultures during skiing from French bars to Italian hot chocolate, I would highly recommend this resort for families or small groups looking for a brilliant and fun skiing holiday

La Rosiere is a really nice family ski resort that has a lot to offer. I did find there was a lack of challenging terrain but conditions were good to allow some fun days.
The trek to Italy La Thule is via a huge drag lift which I am not sure was worth the effort.
Overall we had a great time but would say its definitely for families and would not suit a different kind of trip where you wanted to push yourself.

Really top quality resort in with a bit for everyone between la rosiere and la Thuile, across the Italian border. Pretty high resort so good snow and easy access powder, slightly quieter but still plenty to entertain yourself in the evenings would rate it 10/10

We've been to la rosiere several times, lots of wide groomers that the whole family can enjoy. It's quiet and on the sunny side of the valley which makes the days even more enjoyable. The link to la thuile is nice to have, although it is via a very long drag lift which some can find hard. But really nice resort. We've stayed in various areas, but Les eucherts is my favorite.

Super lovely resort, some really nice long runs down into the trees, downside is theres quite a few old lifts which need replacing.
