La Thuile

Beginners

A great advantage for beginners is that within a short time you can ski the easy runs at the top of the gondola. There is more sun up there and it’s easy to meet up with other skiers. There are two nursery areas, one next to the bottom of the gondola station and the other at 2200m, at the top of the gondola at Les Suches.

Intermediates

A lift pass covers not only La Thuile’s skiing area. La Rosière in France is also included where the runs are long and south-facing. On La Thuile’s side of the ridge, the areas of Les Suches and Chaz Dura provide exhilarating runs whilst the varied terrain on the Piccolo San Bernardo side would keep any skier thrilled.

Advanced

You can still ski fresh tracks days after a snow fall. The off-piste skiing is so extensive that for anyone seeking more of a challengeis going to be more than satisfied. It’s a great place to have your first plunge into off-piste skiing. There are 10 black runs raded in percentages, the steepest of which is marked as an awe-inspiring 72%. From the cable car at the top of Les Suches there are two long black runs through trees, which are used as international downhill courses.

Snowboarding

Great if you want to get started on a board. La Thuile offers you long undulating red and blue runs above the tree-line. These make excellent terrain for beginner and advanced boarders alike, and with a lack of drag lifts and an excellent lift system getting back up the hill is as easy as pie.
