La Rosiere is located in the heart of the Haute Tarentaise and set in a forest on the Italian border. It is a friendly south-facing resort built in an attractive chalet style in keeping with local architecture. Linked with La Thuile in Italy, it is the only Savoyard resort to offer an international ski area of 150km of marked pisted runs (Espace San Bernardo).
La Rosiere sits high on the sunny slopes above Bourg St Maurice, facing Les Arcs across the Tarentaise Valley. La Rosière is part of the commune of Montvalezan, which is comprised of around forty hamlets. The commune’s 14 chapels are the jewels in the crown of its rich heritage.
La Rosiere is a very family-oriented purpose-designed resort, it is almost unique in French skiing in its cross-border ski link to La Thuile in Italy.
Today the resort revolves around two autonomous hubs: the centre of the resort and Les Eucherts village, each with its own shops, high-speed chairlift and ski lesson meeting points, which are linked via a pathway through the forest.
The original village of La Rosiere turned 50 in 2011 but the most recent development has been in Les Eucherts, complete with high-calibre slope side accommodation.
The development of Les Eucherts incorporates some excellent shops and restaurants, the tourist office, an ice rink and bowling complex and a state-of-the-art nursery as well as ski school facilities, all a few metres apart. It is all extremely family friendly so it’s no surprise that the village has the highest official ‘Famille Plus Montagne’
award.
No need to take the car if you want to get from the centre of La Rosière to Les Eucherts. Just take a short walk through the forest! The forest footpath is around one
kilometre long and floodlit at night. It’s the perfect place for a stroll, whatever time of the day or night. History An important transalpine route linking Savoie to the Aosta Valley, the Roman road through the Petit Saint Bernard Pass was built in the late 1800’s. Because of its strategic cross-border position, the Petit Saint Bernard Pass & the mountains surrounding it have been the setting for lots of events and battles, including the annexation of Savoy by France in 1860, and the attacks by the Italian army in 1940. The Espace San Bernardo still shows the scars of its past battles today, and links France, Italy and Europe via its slopes.

ski info
Linked with La Thuile in Italy, La Rosiere is the only Savoyard resort to offer an international ski area of 150 km pisted runs. The ski area is known as Espace San Bernardo.
LA ROSIERE SKI AREA
With a high sunshine record (thanks to the south facing aspect of La Rosière) and an excellent snow record (with north facing slopes in Italy), l’Espace San Bernardo offers something for every type of skier.
If you have your own transport don’t forget that it’s not just the skiing of Les Arcs across the valley that’s accessible to you, but also that of its linked neighbour La Plagne, or going up the valley, the secret powder stash that is Ste Foy. A little further still lie Tignes and Val d’Isere, or you could forget your car and ski over the border in to Italy to access some of the most exciting and affordable heli-skiing in the Alps with vertical descents of up to 2,100m possible.
LA ROSIERE BEGINNERS
La Rosiere is a good choice for beginners, thanks to its well suited terrain and well designed village base which means that your equipment rentals, the ski school and the nursery slopes are just a few steps from your apartment. Great if you have children. There are 3 free lifts near the main village.
LA ROSIERE INTERMEDIATES
Intermediates will enjoy the terrain the most with a huge choice of blue and red pistes on both sides of the border that radiate out to the peaks of Le Belvedere and Chaz Dura. You get a real sense of travel as you enter Italy and the Nuova and San Bernardo runs combined give a wonderful 11km run down to La Thuile (Italy) for a lunchtime pizza.
LA ROSIERE EXPERTS
Despite being primarily a family ski destination, advanced skiers can still find plenty to entertain them here if they use a little creative thinking. 15% of the terrain is rated black with 16 runs of choose from in the Espace San Bernardo, the most challenging arguably the 3.6km long Franco Berthod piste.
LA ROSIERE OFF-PISTE
Off-piste areas can be found between the pistes and in the designated freeride area around the top of the Educets chairlift. More serious off pisting can be accessed just outside the lift network.
LA ROSIERE SNOWBOARDERS
For snowboarders, most of the lifts are chairs so for those beginners amongst you this is a good resort for you. Sunny slopes make the snow a little softer ideal for gentle freeriding.

Ski School: Lesson times are subject to change right until the last minute. Outside French school holidays the ski school reserves the right to cancel group lessons should numbers be insufficient. For peak periods (23/12-6/1, 16/2-16/3 & 14/4-21/4) we strongly recommend that you book as early as possible and in any case at least 6 weeks prior to the required dates. Morning lessons tend to get booked up first and therefore we may only be able to offer afternoon classes within 6 weeks of departure. In some resorts English speaking instructors may not always be available, particularly at peak times.
