Skier & Snowboarder-Submitted Reviews for La Thuile
Total (3.8)
A ski resort's overall star rating displayed here is not calculated based on a simple average but takes several factors, including the age of a review, into account.
After years of spending time in Trentino AA, we decided to try the Aosta Valley. It feels like a place that enjoyed its heyday in the 1980s. The facilities are old and slow (ski lifts, chairlifts without domes, and they don't help children get on except in a few rare cases). The slopes are marked with tiny signs, ski maps are missing, some variants are unmarked, there are no safety nets in dangerous areas, and the bathrooms are old and dirty. Even the rental shops and ski school are unfortunately subpar.
Pros: In February, the slopes are practically empty, the restaurants are half-empty, and there are no lines. The mountain panorama is beautiful. Prices are slightly lower than those of the top resorts, and the slopes are well-groomed, but only on the Italian side.
Forget the swankiness of the more famous resorts (heated gondolas, elevators and escalators, fancy restaurants, etc.).
Bottom line: you save on the ski pass, but it's not worth the trip.

I would offer discounts in case of bad weather and partially closed facilities
Filippo Faldone
Excellent area, excellent slopes and snow quality, worth mentioning is the hotel on the Re delle Alpi slopes, you go out and start skiing, the restaurant and the SPA are excellent,
BARBARA TUFANO
Even though the weather wasn't favorable, we skied very well. Excellent slopes.
Laura
Stunning views, well-groomed slopes, and a fantastic international connection to France! Highly recommended. La Thuile itself doesn't offer much entertainment, however.
MASSIMO GIUSTI
Beautiful snow, well-maintained slopes and top hospitality
Lorenzo Ricci
Beautiful station

Late January, fresh snow galore, and it still hasn't stopped. The Espace San Bernardo is enormous with beautiful slopes for everyone, beginners and experts alike. A marvel.

Before reviewing the resort, I wanted to read the reviews.
The fact that it was a particularly cold and windy day with icy slopes definitely negatively impacted my experience.
Nonetheless, the slopes were poorly maintained, and the very layout of the slopes didn't excite me.
From the summit to Les Suches, I found fairly flat slopes with a few walls for picking up speed, but for someone like me who snowboards, the gentle slope isn't exciting.
This, combined with the lack of maintenance of the ungroomed slopes and the icy slopes (the fault of the weather, not the facility, for goodness' sake), contributed to one of the worst snowboarding experiences of all these years.
Not to mention slope number 7 returning to town, narrow and practically flat—torture.
The food was below average, with staff only capable of serving guests, and the prices were above average.
For comparison, the day before in Pila there were much more staff and the price was lower.
I can't comment on the international connection because I didn't use it.

I strongly advise against this area for those coming from far away. It's very small, poorly connected, and has old, uncovered facilities (only one gondola lift with a small elevation gain). The entire area is very windy.
Most of the chalets are expensive and offer poor service. The international connection improves, allowing you to see more when it's open.
