La Rosière is a south-facing mountain resort at an altitude of 1,850 m. Its offerings vary considerably throughout the year: summer brings hiking trails, a bike park, golf and e-scooter rides; in winter, there are several snowshoeing options. This seasonal focus is a useful first filter when planning your trip. When looking for hotels, you can first choose your travel dates, then decide which activities you want to shape your stay. This way, your choices reflect your interests without treating summer and winter activities as available at the same time.
Summer Trails, Bike Park and Golf
In summer, La Rosière has 27 hiking trails. Their availability may vary. The bike park has 104 km of trails; operating conditions may change here too. E-scooter rides add an electric off-road activity to the summer program. Check before your trip whether e-scooter rides are currently available.
Golf is also seasonal: Golf de La Rosière is a 9-hole course at an altitude of 2,000 m, with views across the Tarentaise Valley. Its opening dates depend on the season, so check the specific dates if you plan to play. With its clearly defined scope and valley views, the course offers a different focus from the hiking trails and bike park routes. You can choose among the summer activities according to whether you want to hike, use the bike park, try e-scooter riding or play golf.
Winter Snowshoe Tours
The winter activities offer different experiences. Randonnée Altitude Hiver - Raquettes is a high-altitude snowshoe tour that includes a chairlift ride. Raquettes découverte is a guided tour through quiet forests and snowy landscapes, and also takes in the local heritage in the heart of La Rosière. Raquettes Biathlon combines snowshoeing with laser rifle shooting.
To choose between these options, consider a specific question: Would you like the chairlift ride to be part of your tour, would you prefer a guided exploration of the forest, snow and local heritage, or are you interested in combining snowshoeing with laser shooting? The descriptions provide different points of reference, as these activities are not interchangeable.
Routes and Cultural Attractions
The Chemin Panoramic Mont-Blanc is an easy summer route near Fort de la Redoute Ruinée. It starts at the La Rosière ski slopes car park and includes a chairlift ride. Access depends on lift operations and conditions, so take this into account when planning your route.
Two chapels are also associated with specific elevations: Chapelle de Jean Paul II in La Rosière is at 1,852 m, and Chapelle Sainte Jeanne d’Arc is at 1,793 m. For a cultural outing, there is also Espace Culturel Le Ruitor, a digital cinema in La Rosière. The program is seasonal and may change, so it is worth checking the latest listings.
The Connection to Italy
Via Espace San Bernardo, La Rosière is connected to the Italian ski resort of La Thuile. Access varies by season. If you want to include this cross-border connection in your travel plans, take your travel dates into account. Together with the summer trails, winter tours and cultural attractions, the connection to La Thuile highlights another aspect of the mountain resort without erasing the seasonal differences between activities.
