Pila is not the biggest ski area, so it's relaxed and there's no dashing around to get to the next valley & back. What makes Pila even more relaxing is the beautiful wide red & blue runs ~ virtually EMPTY red & blue runs, and black.Be sure to check out run No. 6 for a bit of fun with a ?natural half pipe. Also, whilst on run No 6, just to the side z(though you can't see it because of the terrain) is cafe Societe which is rsther nice & a bit posh !Plenty of other cafes but haven't tried them all.Minimal lift queues during the week, some queueing on Saturdays, which doesn't seem to impact the runs much at all. Eases off later in the afternoon, of voyrse.Pila is in a north facing bowl which seems to be fairly protected from the wind.If you stay in Pila I don't think you can be too far from the slope. Or you can stay down in the valley in Aosta which has a 18 minute gondola ride up which opens , I think, at 8am.
