A quiet French resort, this little village oozes calm and is just the ticket for those looking for a ski break with space to spread out on the slopes. Perched on the France-Italian border, La Rosière can is just under two hours drive from Chambéry. If travelling by snow train, regular bus transfers take train travellers from Bourg Saint-Maurice to the resort. Place your bags and luggage down upon arrival and take a second to appreciate the spectacular views over the sweeping Tarentaise Valley below.

Once you’ve stored your things safely in your accommodation, take a twilight walk through the lit up, traffic-free streets of La Rosière 1850. Seek out your local supermarché and dairy stores for all your weekly supplies, including cheese - and lots of it! Sample the finest French mountain cuisine of cheesy tartiflette and fondues at restaurants like Le Genépi and L’Ancolie, followed by the lightest of pizzas over in Italy at the Ristorante Pepita Café and Pizzeria le Dahu in La Thuile.

A forest of wood and stone alpine chalets, ski hotels and apartments open their doors to all ages at La Rosière, inviting couples, families and groups alike to their cosy interiors.

On the slopes, however, it’s quite a different story. Intermediate and advanced skiers and boarders go wild with the ski area’s jungle gym of snow zones. La Rosiere is especially suited to family ski holidays (with the accredited Famille Plus label to recognise it). This is a fantastic place to take little ones to learn to ski. The wide, short beginners’ runs will build debutant skiers and boarder’s confidence: they’ll soon be taking the Roches Noires Express chairlift to try out longer blue runs. The Manessier draglift and the Tapis de Lutins magic carpet are free - perfect for kids and novice skiers to test their ski legs.

The nearest airport to La Rosiere is Geneva at 165 km or about 3 hours 50 minutes by car.

Best Time to Visit La Rosiere

Top slope heights of 2650m and 398 snow cannons provide the San Bernardo ski domain with snow-sure conditions throughout the season. The resort itself catches a good amount of sun with its south facing position. Later on, when the ski season is coming into the Spring, the La Thuile area of the ski domain is perfectly placed on a North facing mountain where you’re likely to find better-preserved snow. As a resort that’s more on the petite side compared to its neighbours of Les Arcs and Tignes, visitors are in for a quieter ski experience on the slopes, with plenty of space to ski or snowboard to your heart’s content on wide, gentle runs. You can usually ski La Rosière from mid-December up until late April.

For a direct journey to La Rosière, take a look at our flight, transfer and accommodation packages. We find the closest serving airport for your departure date, to keep travel time to a minimum, so your little monkeys won't be cooped up for long. Self-drive holidays with channel crossings are a great idea for kids who don't mind a lengthy drive- the countryside views are certainly worth it.

Stay in a catered chalet such as Chalet Papillon 4 (which sleeps 8-10) for a family holiday with a dreamy short walk to Les Eucherts ski school meeting place. Some of our chalets offer their own nanny services for younger children. Please enquire with us for chalet childcare options when making your booking. Hotels often offer childcare facilities too, we recommend the all-inclusive package at Club Med La Rosiere for the easiest family ski holiday.

Apartments often make the cheapest option for family holidays and with properties like Les Cimes Blanches being perfectly positioned on the slope side for ski in ski out opportunities, kids will enjoy the trip home as they scoot to the front door.

Awarded the esteemed 'Famille Plus' label for its top-notch family facilities, you can be sure that you're onto a winner with this resort. The two kids' clubs of Les Galopins can be found in Les Chavonnes Hautes and L'Averne, accepting toddlers from eighteen months to twelve-year-olds for all their sledging, arts and crafts and siesta needs. Qualified instructors will take those old enough to ski up and around the beginners' runs, so they'll soon be able to give you a run for your money on the slopes. Beginners' areas come with magic carpet and rope tow, so little ones won't tire themselves out walking up the slope or on difficult ski lifts.

Continue the family competition of an evening doing some bowling at the Kitzbühel to see who's the master of the clan. Other non-ski entertainment includes a cinema showing movies in French and English and an ice rink, so kids will never get bored.

Apartments are an affordable option for large groups of people, and ideally located for daytime skiing and après ski activities set at the bottom of the pistes with a few minutes’ walk to the heart of town. Keep sole occupancy chalets in mind for luxury and a space all of your own in addition to a chalet host preparing your week’s meals. Enjoy a bird’s eye view over France with Sno’s flight and transfer deals to La Rosière, departing from your most convenient airport. For groups that like to bond on a road trip through some spectacular French landscapes, book one of our self-drive holidays, with channel crossings included in the price. If your friends live all over the country, then an accommodation only holiday may work out better for you, as each member of the party makes their own way over to la France.

This resort is perfect for groups of advanced skiers, as you put squabbles over who’s the best skier to the test. Race down the mountains with the aid of a kite propeller and dip in and out of Alpine trees on the off-piste snowcross. For groups of varying abilities, a mixed selection of thirty-three beginners’ runs, thirty-two intermediate runs and fifteen blacks means all the gang can come along! From Le Belvédère 2641, find runs to sort all abilities. And if friends aren’t all that keen on the idea of skiing or boarding, but still wish to come along for some snowy fun, La Rosière offers its second pastime of snowshoeing, where all ages can enjoy enchanting views at an easier pace. Beat other non-skiers to the bottom of the sledging slopes to see who travels the fastest on their derrière.

And that’s not even talking about La Rosière’s group-friendly après ski. Warm-up your vocal cords in preparation for karaoke at BarH40. After a round of Chartreuse shooters and singing, move onto Le Blue Bar, for some late-night dancing.

We love La Rosiere and have been there three times now. It’s very family friendly which is perfect for our children (aged 7 and 9) and for us there’s easily enough for a weeks’ worth of skiing, with plenty of skiing over to Italy if it’s open.

Straddling the border between France and Italy, La Ros has plenty of groomed skiing between the two - if you laid out the pistes of the San Bernardo ski area from end to end, they’d run from London to Birmingham.

La Rosiere is lovely, it has everything we want from a ski resort. I thoroughly enjoyed our week here in February, so much so that we’re going to buy somewhere here when we retire.

Generally, we thought La Rosiere was good, the fact that you can link across into La Thuile was important. If it was just La Rosiere my son and I would probably have done it in 2 days, but the fact that we could pop over meant that it was fine. I would probably recommend it to beginners, the ski school was exce... + more

We’d been to La Rosiere before and had an excellent week here with the children, we’ve already booked next year’s holiday here!
