La Thuile

Overview

Skiing in La Thuile

With north facing slopes and a close proximity to the Mont Blanc, the snow record here is excellent. It’s a good all rounder resort for skiing holidays for mixed ability groups as it has trails to keep everyone happy. There are a few nursery slopes beside the village for beginners to gain confidence on before going up the mountain on the resort’s super-speedy gondola. Intermediates will like the nice long blue and red runs that come down from peaks Le Belvedere and Chaz Dura; some of these will take you over to French resort La Rosiere. Expert skiers have access to 12 black runs and untouched off-piste powder fields for some serious skiing. One main thing to bear in mind about skiing in La Thuile is the grading of the slopes is slightly off, for example reds should be blues and blue runs can have some pesky uphill parts.
