La Thuile has a good snow re ord and lots of varied terrain. Not a big area but as it's combined with La Rosiere it's a sizeable area.
Snow sure, cold pistes that are north facing as well as south facing ones give you lots of options. Plenty runs for beginners and intermediates to progress on and also good reds and steep blacks to challenge the experienced skier.

Great resort and good value, for families, especially Planibel Hotel to ski in ski out. Plenty for everyone as its joined up to La Rosiere for a larger ski area including a freeride area between the resorts. Great choice of on-mountain cafes and restaurants some within walking distance of gondola. Gondola access can get busy at peak times, but queues move quickly. Wide open blue runs for beginners up to testing reds and black runs used in World Cup racing.
Only draw backs are two long button lifts coming back from La Rosiere and the runs back to resort base seem to be either black or red - download by gondola is recommended for those tired at the end of the day.
Plenty of off piste, but advised that you must have full kit if you are venturing away from groomed runs.
Good rental and ski clothing shops, I had a great ski service at Berthod, bases and edges like new. Delis and supermarket for those self catering with good choice.
Ski school and playground for kids is in an easily accessible area at the base . Village centre is a 10 minute walk from the piste with some interesting shops, cafes, bars and restaurants. There is also a large car park for those visiting for the day
I have stayed in the resort twice and would definitely go back again.

La Thuile is a lovely resort, there are plenty of restaurants to eat out in the evening and the prices and really reasonable compared to France.
Plenty of blues, reds and short easy blacks. Also ski La Rosiere in France although there is a very long drag lift back to La Thuile. Chair lifts are bit dated and slow need updating !!
Al in all a very pleasant resort.

Really enjoyed La Thuile, having been in La Rossiere the week before this was something more cost effective and a lot of fun with what seemed to be a more 18-30 demographic.
The runs were clear and well groomed at the beginning of March. A lot of the shops were easily accessible and again provided much better value for money than what Id seen in France the week before.
The picturesque skiing in the trees in.

So simple to reach!
Couple of hours to transfer and everything you need at the hotel.
Slopes empty and lovely reds- even better, blues simple and easy for beginners and our new skiers were caning it by end of the week!
Food and drink reasonable- espresso under 2 euros!!
You won't be disappointed!

Family friendly resort, Planibel Hotel and Residence offer perfect location and great facilities. A good mix of blue, red and black runs offering something for every level of ability.The town is quite pretty, some fantastic restaurants with great food and service, there are a few bars, but overall it's fairly quiet. Wouldn't suite large groups who want to party every night.We've been three times now and still finding new routes and things to do.

Big ski area, linked to la Rosiere in France. Long sweeping cruising runs both to resort, petit St. Bernard pass and over the border. Runs to resort can be tricky in poor light or weather, and can be a bit steep and/or narrow, so anyone below decent intermediate should take gondola down. Big hotel near lifts, but a bit of a walk to/from slopes if not staying there. Not much in way of apres so all about skiing.

i have been a lot of times to la thuile and I aways found good snow.In la thuile you can find Unlimited offpiste options due to the lift connection with la rosiere and the petit saint-bernad pass lifts.la thuile receive a lot of meters of snow every winter.

Quiet slopes, plenty to choose from for all standards and skiing into La Rosière is a must. Easy bus connection into Courmayeur aLao included in ski pass. Easy 90min connection from Geneva so great for a week or just a long weekend.
