A welcoming, unspoilt village Founded in 1960, La Rosière is an authentic ski resort with a human face, offering 13,950 beds for tourists. Many of its establishments are still run by the children and grandchildren of the resort’s founders, who welcome holidaymakers into their homes in a family spirit.With numerous developments in recent years, La Rosière has included the preservation of its DNA in its development plans, limiting the number of beds to 15,000. The range of activities on offer is immense: lounging, hiking for all levels, road biking, downhill mountain biking, lakes, bivouacs… The mountains reveal their secrets in summer.
Sunshine for everyone
On a natural balcony overlooking the valley, La Rosière offers a panoramic south-facing view of the Haute-Tarentaise. From dawn to dusk, the sun shines down on holidaymakers of all ages. At an altitude of 1850 metres, the sunny days offer pleasant temperatures and the nights a welcome coolness. You can tan and breathe at the same time!
Italian LV2
The Italian border can be reached in 10 minutes by car or by shuttle bus over the Petit Saint-Bernard pass. 20 minutes further on, La Thuile welcomes holidaymakers as the gateway to the Valle d’Aosta and the many treasures it has to offer.Among the must-see attractions:
– The Pré-Saint-Didier thermal baths: for a moment of relaxation in hot water pools, indoors and outdoors, at the foot of Mont Blanc. 38 wellness areas in a typical setting.
– Les Cascades du Ruitor: 3 waterfalls to discover on a 2-3 hour walk, accessible to all. A refreshing moment with a breathtaking view of the Val d’Aoste.
– The Monte Bianco Skyway: in Courmayeur, board this giant cable car to climb from 1300m to 3466m, at the summit of Pointe Hellbronner. You’ll arrive at the foot of the Italian side of Mont Blanc, between the Grande Dame and the Giant’s Dent. On-site catering and museum areas.
The Les Karellis resort lies at an altitude of between 1,650 m and 2,495 m.
With its northerly location, the resort benefits from good snow cover and a rather cold microclimate, which means it is open from December to mid-April with few snow problems.
The resort is located above Saint Jean de Maurienne, less than an hour’s drive from Chambéry, an hour and a half from Grenoble and Annecy, and two hours from Lyon on the A43 freeway. The resort is also accessible by train from the Saint Jean de Maurienne station, with shuttles providing the final link between the station and the resort.
The resort differs from “traditional” resorts in that it is run by associations: all the land belongs to the commune, and the investors are all associations. There are 7 vacation villages: 6 full-board and 1 self-catering, managed by associations. The resort’s atypical accommodation offering is almost exclusively full-board. This differentiation enables the resort to offer attractive rates.
The Les Karellis ski area has 16 lifts3. It boasts 60 km of downhill ski trails with a 950 m vertical drop, as well as 30 km of cross-country ski trails and 10 km of pedestrian and snowshoe itineraries. There are 29 downhill ski runs4 : 6 green runs (les Copies, le Lac, la Ponsonnière, les Près, les Gentianes, les Loix), 7 blue runs (les Granges, la Somma, le Vinouve, les Arpons, les Mottes, le Guetton and la Tallière, open for the 2023-20245 season), 12 red runs (le Vé, les Mottes Rouges, Pramol , la Combe de la Rama, la Combe des Chamois, la Rama, le Stade, les Achères, les Embrunes, les Fontagnoux, les Vordaches and les Gentianes at the top) and 4 black runs (les Enfers, les Bachaches, la Cote des Agneaux, les Crêtes).
There’s also a Children’s Garden, a snowpark, a boardercross and a toboggan run. 80% of the ski area is above 2,000 m.
