La Rosière

La Rosière, at 1,850 m in the commune of Montvalezan, is 'the most Italian of French resorts': 'Linked to the Italian resort of La Thuile by the Col du Petit Saint-Bernard, La Rosière gives you access to a varied ski area' — the Espace San Bernardo, '156 km of certified runs' and 39 lifts (including 22 chairlifts) spread between France and the Aosta Valley, from 1,176 m to the Mont Valaisan (2,800 m). The published breakdown — 45% green and blue, 40% red, 15% black — and the Famille Plus label speak of a progression resort, facing full south toward the Beaufortain massif.

Two transparencies: as of 18 August 2026 the 2026-27 season was not dated with a year — the homepage announces 'We await you from 12 December.' with no year, the domain page still citing the 2025-26 season ('13 December 2025 to 18 April 2026'); and no free offer (beginner lifts, sledging) is published on the pages consulted — so we assert none.

'We await you from 12 December', the resort announces — without stating the year; for reference, the 2025-26 season ran 13 December to 18 April, the full France-Italy domain closing 12 April. Come winter, the supervised Mont Valaisan freeride zone and the ice rink round out the skiing; in summer, hiking, mountain biking, paragliding, canyoning and a 9-hole golf course take over.
