Pila is a small to medium sized resort that sits high above the Aosta valley. Little known outside of Italy, this resort is quite a hidden gem. It has relatively few queues and some great terrain which makes for good skiing. The bulk of the runs appear to be intermediate but there are adequate beginner slopes and they tend to be quiet. This allows you to improve without being constantly worried about collisions. For the intermediates and experts the upper slopes are wide with nice open bowls. A small hike usually opens up untracked powder after a dump. Lower down there are some nice tree runs and the forest is not too thick as to prevent you exploring. Off the slopes there are purpose built apartments and a handful of restaurants. The resort itself is linked to a town down in the valley but there is also a road connecting the two. This is not for the faint hearted as it is very tight and steep! Your ski pass at Pila will also give you one day at the nearby resort of Courmayeur.

Resorts close to Pila include: Cogne (9 km), Saint Rhemy-Crevacol (19 km), Valgrisenche (21 km), Rhemes-Notre-Dame (22 km), Torgnon (22 km),

Visitor Reviews of Pila


Jon Jones from UNITED KINGDOM writes:

I've just come back from a week in Pila. Plenty of snow and sunshine the whole week. Slopes are well groomed although they can be very hard in the mornings. Ski instruction is good. The best school seems to be Aosta. We had an excellent teacher called Max (Alberti Massimo), he used to be in the Italian Ski team, very friendly with lots of tips and pointers!
On the negative side there is VERY little apres ski. It basically revolves around your own hotel. Also, be careful not to pay for your ski equipment until you get a chance to see it. We booked ours through Crystal and the quality leaves a lot to be desired. Boots are very old and skis are not maintained or serviced.
On the whole we had a good time and would go back again.
