Welcome to the Espace San Bernardo

Skiing in La Rosière means exploring a unique Alpine territory: a cross-border ski area linking France to Italy, between the Tarentaise and the Aosta Valley. Connected to the Italian resort of La Thuile via the Petit Saint-Bernard pass, La Rosière offers a varied ski experience with plenty of sunshine and reliable snow.

A borderless skiing experience

With both north- and south-facing slopes, forest runs, wide high-altitude pistes and breathtaking Alpine panoramas, the Espace San Bernardo guarantees a premium ski experience in a preserved environment. It is the only ski area in the Northern Alps to offer a truly Franco-Italian adventure, all with a single lift pass.
