Skier & Snowboarder-Submitted Reviews for Pila
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.
From December 18th to 23rd. Almost all lifts open, almost all slopes closed, full ski pass price. Nonsense. There should be snow. The best slopes, 1 and 2, are abandoned, with no sign of reopening. Run 3 is ready, but closed for phantom races (someone in a snowsuit who had access would occasionally pass by). However, you pay the full ski pass. They've built a new gondola lift, new refuges... it's a shame they forgot to open the slopes. One detail.

This year, little snow has been concentrated on Cuis 1, which is actually a road; Bosco has been left for ski mountaineers; Fagiani is dedicated to competitions and training; essentially, three slopes are open, attracting a disproportionate number of ski clubs. Plus, there are many schools with ten to twelve students per instructor, which, with the few slopes open, makes it difficult to get through. Adding the military personnel completes the picture. And it's not even the Christmas holidays yet. I don't recommend coming to Pila right now. It's a shame, because in other years it was a bit more livable.

Pila offers an excellent balance between slope quality and resort accessibility. Its location provides both shelter on windy days and snow retention. Recent upgrades should reduce queues at the lower lifts in the early hours of the day.
Lucia Tognon
Extremely crowded ski resort with three ski clubs competing on the same day, despite little snow and overall poor organization during the races. We were told the races would end at 11:30, but they actually ended at 1:30, resulting in the slopes reopening only at that time. The only run accessible to experts had, unfortunately, terrible snow cover, characterized by ice slabs and extremely powdery drifts. The other run for less experienced children had a very long queue. Ski lessons had probably been suspended for training and were only available in the late afternoon. At 2:30 p.m., the awards ceremony also began, so for over an hour we could hear nonstop shouting and cheering with stadium horns; the mountain requires silence and tranquility. Overall, the resort is highly inadvisable, whether there are races or not, as there is also extremely annoying entertainment during this period, characterized by loud music and vulgar entertainers.
Alessandro Vitale
A very beautiful ski resort, suitable for families, with excellent slopes for both beginners and experts, although there are few black runs. Beautiful views.
Pasquale
A ski area blessed with snow, even when it's scarce in the Aosta Valley region; ample car and bus parking; easily accessible from Milan; excellent variety of slopes for all levels; this year, a very convenient 8-seater gondola lift has been added to the Cuis 1 slope, replacing an old chairlift. A new section of this ski lift is planned, departing from Aosta, which will allow access to the Pila ski resort in addition to the current gondola lift. Ski pass cost is affordable considering current prices.
Stefania Torterolo
Beautiful slopes and snow. No queues during the week, and modern facilities.
philippe
Beautiful resort with varied slopes and aspects. Opportunities for downhill skiing, off-piste skiing, and ski touring. Several runs wind through the fir trees. Numerous quality mountain restaurants. Pleasant surroundings and the possibility of reaching Aosta via a direct gondola from the valley.
