La Thuile Ski Resort Guide
La Thuile Ski Resort Guide
La Thuile is an up and coming resort with some great skiing. Over 150 km of pistes are on offer with a good mix of runs and you can ski over into France via the link to La Rosiere. There is a possibility to ski at other resorts in the Aosta valley with a free ski bus to Courmayeur and a public bus to Pila. La Thuile is also a quiet resort with a very efficient lift system so queuing is rarely a problem. The north facing exposure and the resort's reputation as a "snow hole" ensures that even the toughest routes down to the village rarely suffer poor conditions. In fact, for the last few seasons the runs down to the village have remained in good condition right up to the season's end on the 25th April each year. The on-mountain facilities in La Thuile have improved greatly over the past few seasons with the opening of some great new restaurants. 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. La Thuile is a seriously under-rated resort.

Visitor Reviews of La Thuile
daniel from Jamaica writes:
La Thuile is a perfect example of the Italian lifestyle - beautiful runs, snow every time (if you go there now "Genuary 2012" you can find the best conditions of all the Alps), the view of Mont.Blanc, Cervino plus the resident Rutor are impressing and the connection with La Rosiere allow you to ski or snowboard for 180Km of runs and more beautiful off-pistes.
Unfortunately, the natives are not able to promote their beautiful places and offer good accommodations and services at a reasonable price: no snowpark for kids and very poor night-life, a place where young people can only get drunk in the night outside at -15 degree ! Suggestions for very good food Restaurant La Pepita and La Creche. Final suggestion "even in La Thuile do not ride so fast than your guardian angel can fly ! "
