A quiet French resort, this little village oozes calm and is just the ticket for those looking for a ski break with space to spread out on the slopes. Perched on the France-Italian border, La Rosière can is just under two hours drive from Chambéry. If travelling by snow train, regular bus transfers take train travellers from Bourg Saint-Maurice to the resort. Place your bags and luggage down upon arrival and take a second to appreciate the spectacular views over the sweeping Tarentaise Valley below.

Once you’ve stored your things safely in your accommodation, take a twilight walk through the lit up, traffic-free streets of La Rosière 1850. Seek out your local supermarché and dairy stores for all your weekly supplies, including cheese - and lots of it! Sample the finest French mountain cuisine of cheesy tartiflette and fondues at restaurants like Le Genépi and L’Ancolie, followed by the lightest of pizzas over in Italy at the Ristorante Pepita Café and Pizzeria le Dahu in La Thuile.

A forest of wood and stone alpine chalets, ski hotels and apartments open their doors to all ages at La Rosière, inviting couples, families and groups alike to their cosy interiors.

On the slopes, however, it’s quite a different story.… + more

Best Time to Visit La Rosiere

Top slope heights of 2650m and 398 snow cannons provide the San Bernardo ski domain with snow-sure conditions throughout the season. The resort itself catches a good amount of sun with its south facing position. Later on, when the ski season is coming into the Spring, the La Thuile area of the ski domain is perfectly placed on a North facing mountain where you’re likely to find better-preserved snow. As a resort that’s more on the petite side compared to its neighbours of Les Arcs and Tignes,… + more

There wasn’t a massive amount of snow over New Year’s, so we had to go high – but it was still good. La Rosiere is a quiet but very nice resort and it’s possibly somewhere we would consider going again. It’s probably more a resort for intermediates, there isn’t much for advanced skiers and there weren’t ... + more

First time in La Rosiere and I thought it was quite special. The resort was quite busy (turned out it was Parisian half term) and I would have preferred it to be quieter, but the snow quality was good. The runs are very varied – I’m an experienced snowboarder and my wife was a new skier and we managed to find... + more

The weather was a bit foggy in April, but overall La Rosiere is a good resort and I would recommend it to other families. It’s close to the slopes and the children’s areas are good. There’s a little nursery area with an escalator as well as a play park nearby which was great. + more
Matt Mitchell Farmer,

Generally, we thought La Rosiere was good, the fact that you can link across into La Thuile was important. If it was just La Rosiere my son and I would probably have done it in 2 days, but the fact that we could pop over meant that it was fine. I would probably recommend it to beginners, the ski school was exce... + more

The resort is quite compact, not very extensive. We also went early in the season and there was not much snow towards the bottom of La Rosiere and La Thuile. For après ski we went to Avalanche in the main town centre in La Rosiere which I would recommend. + more
Jill,

Snowed like mad here on the second week of February. We thought there might be trouble getting home but it was fine. We usually have great weather when we ski, and this was probably the worst we’d ever seen – 3 days the light was bad and it was very snowy. It’s not anyone’s fault though and it made the reso... + more

Straddling the border between France and Italy, La Ros has plenty of groomed skiing between the two - if you laid out the pistes of the San Bernardo ski area from end to end, they’d run from London to Birmingham. Some of the finest, if you enjoy shooting through the trees, are the glades above Italian La Thuil... + more

We’d been to La Rosiere before and had an excellent week here with the children, we’ve already booked next year’s holiday here! If you’re teens or 20-somethings looking for nightlife it’s not the place for you and you won’t find 5000 black runs either, but it’s an excellent resort for beginners and child... + more

Neither of us had been to La Rosiere before – it’s quite a quiet resort, but it’s nice. Considering it was towards the end of the season we got quite lucky as it snowed the night we got there, which saw us through the next few days (though it was a bit windy at times). One of us has done quite a lot of ski... + more

We love La Rosiere and have been there three times now. It’s very family friendly which is perfect for our children (aged 7 and 9) and for us there’s easily enough for a weeks’ worth of skiing, with plenty of skiing over to Italy if it’s open. The area is south facing so you get a lot of sunshine, but its h... + more

We found the ski area really limited and there wasn’t much to do apart from going over to La Thuile. It would be really good for beginners, maybe going up to intermediates but I don’t think we would return. + more

We had a lovely time in La Rosiere, it’s such a good place to bring the family if your kids are learning to ski. They all had a great time with their instructors, who really pushed them so they came out a lot better than they’d started. I wouldn’t recommend the resort for really good skiers but for little ki... + more

La Rosiere is lovely, it has everything we want from a ski resort. I thoroughly enjoyed our week here in February, so much so that we’re going to buy somewhere here when we retire. The area has runs for mixed abilities and the time of year we went wasn’t that busy at all. For young families, the resort has ... + more

The resort itself was absolutely lovely, even though it was purpose built it’s probably one of nicest places we’ve been to. The skiing itself however was limited – it was very exposed at the top and although the weather was good, the snow wasn’t absolutely brilliant. To get over to Italy you had to use some... + more

My experience of La Rosiere may have been slightly impacted by the weather of which there were blizzards for the majority but to me La Rosiere felt a bit small with me repeating runs on a daily basis. It was challenging especially for a snowboarder to get to the Italian side of the result due to a drag lift bei... + more

La Rosiere is great for families. Everything is nearby. It’s quite a small place, there isn’t so much there. We went bowling one night, but it was in the neighbouring village and it was a bit of a trek to get there. The ski area is really open, there aren’t many trees. You can see all the off-piste because o... + more

It’s lovely! We are hoping to go back next year. We are very experienced skiers, so experts I suppose, and the skiing around La Rosiere wasn’t really sufficient, however we went over to La Thuile where it is more challenging. It’s definitely more of a resort for beginners. We met some nice people while were ... + more

It took us about 3 days to ski the whole area. There was more to do on the La Thuile side of the ski area, we preferred this side. There were some very nice little runs through the trees, and these are better protected from the elements. It was late in the season and it did become slushy at times… going down t... + more

I like La Rosiere, the location is really nice and the village is good. There’s always quite a lot of stuff going on each night... out of the week they had an event on 5 of the nights including adult only tobogganing, a freestyle ski show and a torchlight night where you ski down in the dark. You can normally ... + more

Luckily the snow was good while we were in La Rosiere even though it was a hot week. We had glorious sunshine the whole time. It was starting to get mushy towards the end of the day down at the bottom of the slopes. I wouldn’t have wanted to go the week after. It’s a great resort for families, it’s quite lim... + more

La Rosiere came up as a last minute holiday and we really enjoyed it – it’s a nice little village.

There was plenty of sno... + more
