La Rosière: Mountain Holidays Between Summer and Winter

The mountain resort of La Rosière faces south and sits at an altitude of 1,850 m. The elevations of individual attractions also help put the area into perspective: the golf course is at 2,000 m, and two chapels also have specific elevations.

Summer: golf, hiking trails and routes

One named summer route is the Chemin Panoramic Mont-Blanc. This easy route is near Fort de la Redoute Ruinée, starts at the La Rosière ski slopes car park and includes an uphill chairlift ride. Its starting point and chairlift ride distinguish it as a specific route from the general information about the 27 hiking trails. Access depends on lift operations and conditions.

Winter: guided snowshoe tours

Randonnée Altitude Hiver - Raquettes is a high-altitude snowshoe tour with a chairlift ride. Raquettes découverte offers another guided winter tour, taking visitors through quiet forests and snowy landscapes and incorporating local cultural heritage in the heart of La Rosière. Raquettes Biathlon combines snowshoeing with shooting a laser rifle. The tours therefore differ in their focus: altitude and a chairlift ride, scenery and cultural heritage, or a combination with biathlon.

La Rosière is connected to the Italian ski resort of La Thuile via the Espace San Bernardo. Access to this cross-border link varies by season. If you choose when to travel based on specific activities, you should also bear in mind the seasonal conditions for this connection, alongside the guided snowshoe tours.

Culture and other attractions

Espace Culturel Le Ruitor is a digital cinema in La Rosière; its programme is seasonal and subject to change. The Parcours du Petit Saint-Bernard offers a different kind of outing: this fun, educational area is located in the La Rosière forest and is aimed at children and adults. This attraction is also seasonal.

Two chapels can be distinguished by their elevations. The Chapelle de Jean Paul II is located in La Rosière at an altitude of 1,852 m; the Chapelle Sainte Jeanne d’Arc is at 1,793 m. Together with the elevations of the resort and the golf course, these figures give a concrete impression of the altitudes at which the attractions mentioned are located. When planning your trip, you can consider seasonal activities and individual cultural attractions as different areas of focus, rather than viewing La Rosière solely as a destination for one kind of stay.
