With 152km of linked slopes with La Thuile, Italy - La Rosiere is an excellent ski area, and one not to miss.

Two new fast six-pack chairlifts were built up Mont Valaisan to open up a fantastic area of off piste, as well as five new red runs. This has added more advanced terrain to the ski area, making it more varied than ever before. Just make sure that if you’re crossing the Italian border you return before the last lifts close – the taxi ride back will be extremely expensive! The resort sits along the Col de Petit St Bernard road, which is closed off until the summer months and is therefore nice and quiet. Lots of rustic chalets, built in traditional Savoyard style, form the bulk of the accommodation in the resort. Don’t come here expecting a party, but there are some nice bars for a post-skiing drink, as well as several traditional restaurants.

Pros and cons

Fantastically varied, cross-border ski area
New Mont Valaisan sector is excellent for off piste
Attractive and rustic village – very different to the bustle of nearby Val

d’Isère

Storms can close the link across to Italy
Sunny lower slopes can become slushy
Resort is quiet – party lovers should head to other resorts

On the Slopes

Just above the village lie the resort’s nursery slopes, all of which are sunny and gentle. Beyond this, learners will have to tackle the network of blues below Roc Noir, but most of these are pretty mellow. Once these are mastered, confident intermediates will have free reign over the linked ski area with La Thuile – just note that you need to catch long draglifts to get across.

The shadier slopes of La Thuile are slightly steeper, with lots of excellent groomed reds and a couple of blacks. Before the new lifts were built the challenges on the French side were somewhat limited, but the Mont Valaisan sector has several steeper red runs and is home to some fine off piste, particularly slightly later in the winter when the rocky terrain has been fully covered.

La Rosière Resort

The location of La Rosière means that it is nice and quiet in the winter – when the mountain pass is open, the road running through it can be busy. Throw in spectacular views over the Isère valley and the setting is ideal if you’re looking for a relaxing and picturesque stay.

Lots of the accommodation is in well-appointed chalets so you won’t need to eat out too often, but there are some good local eateries to choose from on your chalet host’s night off. Several bars are dotted around town too, offering a relaxed atmosphere – the après ski here is nothing like a few kilometres away in Val d’Isere.

Getting to La Rosiere

Getting here form Geneva and Chambery is easy, but transfer times are quite long. Perhaps the best way to arrive to the resort is to travel via the snow train and then catch the short bus ride up from Bourg St Maurice.

Chambery airport: 2 hours
Geneva airport: 2.5 hours
Calais: approximately 12 hours driving (612 miles)

Snow Overview

France

Updated 17/02

Strong snowfall continues into this week after last week’s incredible numbers – with the avalanche risk remaining very high as a result, with Level 4 (High) and Level 5 (Very High) dominating across the French Alps. Around 25cm of snowfall is coming down on Tuesday with flurries continuing into Wednesday, with cloud and obscured conditions in play. This will reach most elevations as the freezing line remains close to 1,000m throughout, taking a long walk off a short pier overnight as it hits sea level.

Another large snowfall is due on Thursday, continuing to bring excellent snow but maintaining this avalanche cycle – this new snow is sitting on a persistent weak layer dating from December that has been causing issues all winter, and remains a severe risk now.

Temperatures remain cold, with the freezing line holding fast at around 1,500m. This means that around 70cm of snowfall will hit upper slopes, with decent totals of 20cm reaching lower slopes, too.

Cloud clears – as does the snow – over Friday and into Saturday, meaning those of you still skiing may well experience amazing conditions now that this new loading of snow has had a chance to sinter and bind to the layers below; although with a persistent weak layer in play this will remain dangerous for some time.

Conditions take a marked turn towards spring, with sun during the day and cold temperatures overnight, creating a distinct freeze-thaw cycle.
