La Rosiere Ski Holidays

Overview

La Rosière is a ski resort located in France. Although it is small compared to other resorts in the Alps, the ski area offers 155 km of trails within the Espace San Bernardo, which it shares with the Italian ski resort of La Thuile. Thanks to the resort’s high altitude, snow conditions remain excellent for a long time, and reliable snowfall is guaranteed. Espace San Bernardo is a ski area particularly well-suited for beginners, as the resort offers mostly wide, gently sloping blue runs, which are ideal for learning. Additionally, right near the town there are free lifts for those who are learning. However, there are also plenty of red runs where intermediate skiers can enjoy themselves. For more experienced skiers, La Rosière offers 12 advanced runs, as well as several spots for freeride skiing.

The village of La Rosière is charming, as it was built using local stone, which gives it a unique character. It is a fairly quiet place, with a few bars and restaurants, particularly renowned for the quality of the food they serve, where you can sample local specialities. Near La Rosière, about 1 kilometre away, there is also a smaller village called Les Eucherts.
