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 02/05

Warm temperatures start the weekend, with the freezing line hitting 4,000m during the midday sun on Friday. This will fall, however, over the course of the long weekend, eventually hitting 2,000m on Monday evening and staying low throughout the new week.

Cloud will dominate this weekend, and with it will come precipitation. This will begin as rain on Saturday, but as things turn cooler this will turn to snow, with around 5cm falling across the region over Sunday evening, Monday and throughout Tuesday; this will fall on higher ground only as the freezing line remains on or just above 2,000m. High pressure returns in the middle of the week with plenty of fine, dry and bright conditions

Thus concludes this season’s snow overviews; thank you to everyone who has read them this season, and we look forward to seeing you again next year!
