An up and coming resort with some great skiing. Over 150 km of pistes on offer and the possibility to ski at other resorts in the Aosta valley, if you have transport. There is a good mix of runs and you can ski over into France via the link to La Rosiere. It is also a quiet resort so queuing is rarely a problem. The downside is that the toughest routes are quite low and will be the first to suffer poor conditions. Also the on-mountain facilities are not the best. Off the slopes there is adequate slope side accommodation and there are good restaurants too. The nightlife is not the best and is more subdued. A seriously under-rated resort!

Resorts close to La Thuile include: Courmayeur (9 km), La Rosiere (12 km), Valgrisenche (13 km), Sainte Foy (16 km), Villaroger (17 km),

Visitor Reviews of La Thuile


Ed Coyle from UNITED KINGDOM writes:

Just returned from an excellent week at La Thuile where the snow was first class, weather clear, save for one midweek day which enabled the snow to be refreshed. During the week the place is empty with no queues and even at the weekend local Italians appear to favour the more fashionable Courmayeur, 10 Kms away. I have visited 4 times in good and bad weather and never been disappointed. It can be very windy up top , but early intermediates can find safe ways ( 'variantes') down the tree-protected black slopes back to the resorts - just follow the lines of small children following their instructors. Linked to La Rosiere in France - but I advise particular care for all on that resorts old style metal pole tows - particularly caution recommended to men whose families are not yet complete.
It is a quiet town, made up of 7 smaller villages. It is starting to develop as awareness of this undiscovered gem widens. Thankfully, the new developments are more in tune with the local traditional style. For self caterers, not a lot of restaurant choice and prior reservation would be wise near the weekend. A particular favorite is La Grotta, a charming, efficient family restaurant selling excellent traditional Italian food at very good value. Full of the French at lunchtime when the La Rosiere link is open - and they know about matters culinary.
One problem is that the ski school does not have an abundance of instructors whose English has the precision necessary for successful tuition.
