Guaranteed five months of skiing

From the end of November to the end of April, La Thuile offers an extensive choice of slopes for all difficulty, from numerous and gentle “blue” slopes for beginners to the more challenging and fun varieties of “ red” slopes for intermediates, to the most difficult “ black” slopes where inclines can reach 78% for expert skiers. Thanks to a particular microclimate and to abundant snowfall slopes are always covered in snow but if that it‘s not enough there are 300 snow-making machines.

An international area

Thanks to the international connection with the French ski station La Rosière , La Thuile has always attracted ski enthusiasts for its big area, in fact with a single lift pass it offers 150 km of slopes connected by 35 lifts with a capacity to transport 45.000 people per hour .

Heliskiing

By helicopter, skiers are taken up to the summit of the Rutor glacier (3.486 m.) or the Miravidi glacier (3.051 m.) where an Alpine guide leads the way down through very unique scenery. That is the helicopter experience offered from January 1 to the end of May.

The descent from Rutor glacier joins the Moroir village, France (1220 m.). The lunch time is in a typical Savoyard restaurant. The return to Piccolo San Bernardo is by French chairlifts. With the Miravidi run, it’s possible to arrive till Piccolo San Bernardo and to take lunch in a typical restaurant before to return in La Thuile by slopes. This run is matched with Mont Ouille descent. After the arriving by slopes, helicopter takes people from Piccolo San Bernardo to the top.

Other activities to try are indoor climbing wall, ice falls climbing and nocturnal snowshoe excursions.

Ski Schools

Founded in 1964, “La Scuola di sci di La Thuile” now boasts 63 ski teachers of the highest technical ability and professionalism.

More of the classical downhill, cross country or snowboard ski teachers, there are instructors specialized in techniques such telemark, carving, snow blade and free ride.

Ski teacher are available to adventurous who want to explore out-of-bounds (off-piste) skiing with exciting but safe runs. For the lover of nature we recommend backcountry skiing: slow slopes in uncontaminated place, direct contact with nature, and an enjoyable descent.
