Known for its sunny aspect, excellent snow conditions and good mix of uncrowded pistes, La Rosière is a wonderful family-orientated resort but one that is suitable for all levels of skiers and snowboarders. It offers the chance to ski into the Italian resort of La Thuile as it straddles the French-Italian border and provides excellent value for money with reasonably priced ski school, hire shops and après ski activities just a couple of hundred metres from our Papillon chalets.La Rosière is linked to La Thuile in Italy to form the Espace San Bernardo ski area ranging from 1200m to 2650m and offering almost 160km of piste. It caters for all abilities with over 80 runs covering a good mix of terrain; the wide open slopes near the top giving way to attractive tree runs closer to resort. There’s also good off-piste; the Zittieux area just above La Rosière is patrolled but not piste-bashed and there are plenty of other off-piste options further afield for those looking for powder.

La Rosière is incredibly child-friendly with high quality, easily-accessible nursery slopes close to the main village of La Rosière 1850 and Les Eucherts. However its abundance of intermediate blue and red runs, 13 blacks and 2 snowparks mean it caters for everyone.

Snowboarders have the benefit of the jumps, rails, and tables of varying difficulties in the snow parks as well as a boardercross above the main village of La Rosière 1850 and another area to the right of Les Eucherts. There’s also a good amount of off-piste options for snowboarders providing natural half-pipes and gullies as well as open fields.
