Ski La Thuile for stunning scenery of Mont Blanc (Europe's highest peak) from the Italian side. Along with a nice relaxed Italian winter sport atmosphere, skiing & snowboarding here is excellent.

Where?

Ski La Thuile and you're located between Mont Blanc and the Mount Rutor Glacier. This ski resort shares the slopes of La Rosiere for a total of 150kms of piste for skiing and snowboarding. The scenery is spectacular, with views of the Matterhorn, Monte Rosa and Mont Blanc, and the atmosphere relaxed. Transport is via Turin Airport or Geneva.

On the slopes

Ski La Thuile and you get something for everyone. With 80 slopes and 150 kms of runs, you'll be spoiled for choice. Because La Thuile is relatively unknown outside of Italy, you'll find it delightfully uncrowded. With 27 beginner/easy intermediate runs this is a good place to learn, and there's also plenty of options for intermediates. In addition to 13 expert runs, there are also some fantastic off-piste challenges, and heli-skiing is available for the adventurous.

Ski area

If you ski La Thuile you are also in the ski region of Aosta Valley .

Off the slopes

Don't let the size of the ski resort fool you - there are some great places to eat, ranging from cheap pizza and pasta through to full on 3-course meals. Try La Lune, Lo Creton and La Grotta for pasta and pizzas, La Fordze for something more upmarket. Lively après-ski choices include La Bricole pub or the Cage pub. This is also a good resort for families - there's a cinema, swimming pool, fitness centre, table tennis and cross-country skiing.

WE LIKE

  • Fair-sized area linked to La Rosiere in France, part of Espace San Bernardo. Access to amazing heli-skiing.
  • Free of crowds and queues throughout the season. Known for amazing mountain restaurants.
  • Snow is reliable on north and east facing slopes. Good snow making facilities.

WE DON'T LIKE

  • Some of the architecture is unattractive, particulary the new buildings away from the old town.
  • High winds frequently close lift links with La Rosiere. Can also be a dark resort with fewer sun hours due to the shadow of the mountain.
  • Not the place for the most lively après-ski.
