4 activities you absolutely must try this summer

❄️ 10 (More) Good Reasons to Visit La Rosière in Winter

We could have listed 50, but these are already more than enough to book your next holiday with your eyes closed:

  1. A cross-border ski area.
    France + Italy = Espace San Bernardo. Skiing in two countries — pretty cool, right?
  2. Snow as far as the eye can see.
    Thanks to the Petit St Bernard Pass, we catch the best snowfalls. From December to April, powder is guaranteed.
  3. Sunshine that shines brighter than elsewhere.
    Yes, really. The south-facing Tarentaise is the perfect place to combine skiing and sunbathing.
  4. Easy to get to.
    Less than 5 hours from Paris by TGV. No need to travel to the other side of the world to experience Alpine magic.
  5. A real mountain village.
    Stone and wood chalets, slate roofs, no ugly high-rise buildings. Authentic charm at its best.
  6. A gourmet melting pot.
    Aosta Valley + Savoie = raclette, fontina, polenta, tartiflette, gnocchi… You get the picture.
  7. Slopes for everyone.
    Easy blues for beginners (or relaxed cruising), reds and blacks for letting loose. Stress-free skiing.
  8. A family-friendly resort.
    “Famille Plus” certified, warm welcomes, activities for little skiers and big smiles.
  9. Restaurants for food lovers.
    At La Rosière, eating well is a given — even on the slopes! Crispy pizza or melting croziflette… why choose?
  10. Events not to be missed.
    Freeride Week, Christmas festivities, DJ sets on the slopes… Winter here is also about celebration.
