About the area

La Rosière offers 67 km of pistes in Savoie, and 53% of them (36 km) are green or blue, so the balance clearly favours those still learning. Nine magic carpets cover first steps, and there are 27 short easy runs right next to a lift base, which makes progression simple. Intermediates get the most out of it with 29 km of blue and 24 km of red. Experts will find it thin: only 8 km, or 11%, is black, expert or freeride terrain, with 3 km of marked freeride and a maximum of 680 m of vertical on a single run.

The area runs from 1,191 m to 2,798 m, served by 29 lifts — 10 chairlifts, 9 platters, one drag lift and 9 magic carpets. The longest run measures 2,694 m. Snowmaking covers 11 km, useful for the lower, family-oriented slopes.
