Perched at an altitude of 1,850 metres in the Haute Tarentaise, La Rosière is a resort in a class of its own in the French Alps. Authentic, sunny and looking towards nearby Italy, its mountain charm and international ski area will win you over. Here are three reasons not to miss La Rosière this winter.
1. Authentic charm and a preserved mountain spirit
There's nothing standard about the architecture at La Rosière: stone chalets, lauze roofs, wood and fireplaces blend harmoniously into the landscape. Here, the spirit of the Savoyard village lives on, offering visitors a real change of scenery.
These local roots are no accident: the town planning scheme is designed to preserve the area's identity and maintain a harmonious landscape. The result is a warm, authentic atmosphere that is immediately appealing.
2. Generous, guaranteed snow cover
Nicknamed the Tarentaise's "snow haven", La Rosière enjoys unique weather conditions between Mont Blanc and the Col du Petit Saint-Bernard.
With a total of almost 6 metres of snow recorded last winter, the resort can guarantee optimum snow cover. No less than 83 % of the ski area is above 1,850 metres, a major advantage for enjoying a long season, from 13 December 2025 to 18 April 2026.
3. A unique Franco-Italian experience
La Rosière doesn't just offer 180° panoramic views and plenty of sunshine: it also offers a rare cross-border experience.
Linked to La Thuile, in Italy, by the Petit Saint-Bernard pass, it forms the Espace San Bernardo ski area, with 156km of runs to explore without borders. Skiing in the morning on the French side, enjoying an al dente pasta dish in Italy at midday, then finishing the day in the sun on the Tarentaise side: this is an experience that few resorts can offer.
