About the Resort
About La Rosière
Perched at 1,850m on a south-facing terrace in the Tarentaise Valley, La Rosière offers an enticing blend of abundant sunshine and exceptional snowfall. As part of the Espace San Bernardo, it shares a seamless cross-border ski area with La Thuile in Italy, allowing skiers to enjoy French alpine charm in the morning and authentic Italian pasta for lunch.
The Resort
While traditionally celebrated as a tranquil, family-friendly destination holding the prestigious 'Famille Plus' label, the resort has broadened its appeal in recent years. The architecture is largely characterized by traditional chalet-style wood and stone, avoiding the high-rise concrete developments seen in some other French domains.
The addition of the Mont Valaisan sector has elevated La Rosière's status among advanced skiers and freeriders, unlocking high-altitude, technical terrain up to 2,800m. Despite these thrilling new additions, the resort retains its welcoming, laid-back atmosphere, making it a favorite for mixed-ability groups and families seeking a reliable and picturesque winter getaway.
On the Mountain
Skiing here ranges from wide, sunny, gentle boulevards on the French side to steeper, shaded, tree-lined descents in Italy. The international link via the Col du Petit Saint-Bernard offers a genuine journey on skis, while the Mont Valaisan sector delivers superb, lift-accessed freeride terrain for powder enthusiasts.
Tarentaise Valley / Espace San Bernardo
Located in the Savoie region of the French Alps, the area is famed for its high-altitude, world-class ski domains and distinct snow-catching microclimate.
