The La Rosière resort, just twenty minutes from the Bourg-Saint-Maurice train station, offers visitors a cocktail of sunshine and superlative snow cover. Facing due south, its chalets bathe in the warm rays of the Sun God all day long. And although its skiable domain cannot be compared to those of its famous neighbours (Val d'Isère, les Arcs), the variety of its slopes, and its link to the Italian resort of La Thuile, will banish any thought of fatigue. Finally, off-piste skiers can thrill to helicopter landings in the transalpine Alpes, and children will enjoy their visit to the Saint Bernard breeding facility.
