About La Rosière
La Rosière is a small, traditional resort in the Haute-Tarentaise valley on the Little St Bernard Pass, linked by cable car and piste to La Thuile in Italy to form the Espace San Bernardo — 160km of cross-border skiing shared between the two countries. Its high position at 1,850m, sunny south-facing slopes, and genuinely relaxed, family-oriented atmosphere make it an underrated gem for those seeking quality skiing without the crowds or prices of its larger neighbours.
