The resort of La Rosiere sits in the Haute Tarentaise region of France, a beautiful scenic resort close to the Vanoise National Park, and is linked to the Italian ski slopes by six chair lifts., making it an ideal destination for a ski holiday.
This venue is ideal for ski holidays and is great for intermediate skiers as just over 50 percent of the slopes are blue; a third are green runs, and the remainder are black (single diamond). 39 lifts service the slopes and the longest run is slightly less than seven miles.
The resort is very family friendly; children are welcomed and the hotels offer a range of activities for them. Several restaurants provide wonderful French and Italian food.
Five airports are within three hours drive to the area, with Chambery, Grenoble, Geneva and Lyon being the closest. People can also take the train to nearby Bourg St Maurice, and then rent a car or take a bus or taxi.
The alternative resort of La Tania has a real community feel to it with virtually no traffic, and great programmes for beginner skiers and the children. It’s great for ski holidays. Six bars and eight restaurants service the area, and there are bars and nightclubs for evening entertainment.
You can fly into the Geneva, Chambery or Lyon airports to get to the area. Nestled in France near the Italy-Swiss border, it is a great place for skiers of any level, and also snowboarders. The area has 27 green runs, 44 blue, 38 red, and 10 black. You can enjoy downhill skiing and also cross-country runs. There are 67 ski lifts giving easy access to the slopes. Many of the slopes are above 2,500 metres so you can ski and snowboard for most of the season. In other areas, they use snow cannons to ensure that the slopes are covered.
