La Thuile ski information
La Thuile has the best possible combination of gentle beginners’ slopes, long open runs, good off-piste and some exhilarating black runs. The fairly quiet linked slopes provide cross-border skiing to La Rosiere in France and visitors can enjoy fabulous scenery against the backdrop of Mont Blanc.
Skiing and snowboarding in La Thuile
Ski Information Beginners
On their first day beginners will start on the two easy slopes, served by a travelator carpet lift at village level or on the runs at Les Suches which are located at higher level.
Ski Information Intermediates
This must be one of the most extensive areas in the Aosta Valley for intermediates. The link between La Thuile and La Rosière is by way of a chairlift at Col de la Traversette.
Ski Information Advanced
With a total of 12 black runs, 8 on the Italian side and 4 on the French, there is plenty of scope for the more experienced. Add to this some fine off-piste areas above the Piccolo St. Bérnard pass and the possibility of heli-skiing on the Rutor glacier and the better skier will relish the many challenges in this extensive area.
Ski Information Snowboarding
La Thuile is a bit of a gem just down the road from Courmayeur. It has loads of off-piste opportunities especially on the La Rosière side. The San Bernardo chair is worth a look. Head for a helicopter if you want the ultimate powder fix.
