La Rosière, altitude: 1,850m

Located in the Haute-Tarentaise area of the French Alps, La Rosière is a village ski resort perched on a south-facing balcony. The resort’s high altitude (1,850m) and exceptional location mean that it offers optimum skiing conditions and outstanding sun exposure.

Picture yourself skiing around 160km of slopes in the only resort in the northern French Alps to boast an international ski area. La Rosière is joined with the Italian resort of La Thuile (Aosta Valley), which means that you can indulge in some cross-border skiing as you explore the Espace San Bernardo ski area. A perfect blend of tradition and modernity, La Rosière has been developed in a way that respects the village’s cultural values, and has preserved its authenticity by adhering to the local architectural style. A wide variety of activities, events and entertainment are organised throughout the summer and winter seasons to ensure that your holiday is one to remember.

Holding the “Famille Plus” classification thanks to its child-orientated facilities and services, the village resort offers à la carte holidays to ensure that both children and their parents have as much fun as possible.

Al dente holidays

La Rosière stands out from its neighbouring resorts by offering a warm and friendly service that combines the best of two cultures.

In winter, come and explore an exceptional place 

In winter, strap on your skis and explore the unspoiled landscapes of the Espace San Bernardo. Located just a few kilometres as the crow flies from Mont Blanc, the Petit Saint Bernard pass and the Ruitor glacier, the Espace San Bernardo benefits from favourable weather streams which guarantee excellent snow cover from mid-December to the end of April. The ski area regularly ranks as one of the top ski resorts in the northern Alps for snowfall. Titillate your taste buds with delicious French and Italian cuisine, and glide down the quiet slopes as you marvel at the surrounding views. Thrill seekers can satisfy their thirst for adventure by indulging in more adventurous disciplines such as freeride, snowkiting and ski touring on the surrounding expanses of unmarked terrain. Less adventurous types can try a host of original and fun activities in and around the resort itself, such as snowshoeing, wellness treatments, ice skating, ice hockey, and much more!

Once the slopes have closed for the day, head to the resort’s bowling alley, ice rink, cinema or one of its many bars to wind down. La Rosière is the ideal place to spend a relaxing holiday with your family or friends this winter.

Located just 8km from the Petit-Saint-Bernard pass (heading towards Italy), in the heart of the Haute-Tarentaise Valley, La Rosière is a great base for a wide variety of outings (hikes, mountain bike rides, cultural trips, trail runs, etc.). Go for a walk around the waterfalls, streams and high altitude lakes and discover some idyllic picnic spots that the whole family will adore. Whether you set out just for a few hours or for the whole day, on foot, by bike or by car, you are sure to be amazed by the beautiful sites and landscapes that adorn the surrounding area: the hamlets and chapels in the commune of Montvalezan-La Rosière, the Haute-Tarentaise Valley, the Vanoise National Park, Mont Blanc, the Aosta Valley, and much more.
