More about La Thuile
The Resort
Known for its phenomenal snow record and dramatic views of the Mont Blanc massif, La Thuile offers a quieter, more relaxed alternative to some of the mega-resorts in the Alps. The resort retains an authentic Italian village feel, characterized by stone-and-wood buildings, excellent local gastronomy, and a warm, welcoming atmosphere.
The skiing is highly varied, featuring everything from steep, tree-lined reds and blacks returning to the village, to wide-open, sunny blue cruisers high up on the mountain. Its unique microclimate ensures reliable snow cover throughout the winter, making it a favorite for those seeking great pistes and accessible off-piste terrain without the massive crowds.
On the Mountain
La Thuile offers a brilliant mix of wide, snow-sure plateaus for beginners and intermediates, and challenging, steep wooded runs leading back down to the resort. The cross-border link allows skiers to enjoy high-altitude cruising in France for lunch before tackling the thrilling red and black descents back into Italy. Off-piste enthusiasts will also find easily accessible powder bowls and exciting tree skiing.
Aosta Valley / Espace San Bernardo
Located in the north-western corner of Italy, the Aosta Valley is framed by Europe's highest peaks, including Mont Blanc, the Matterhorn, and Monte Rosa.
