Purpose-built on a sunny shelf, La Rosière is largely ski-in/ski-out: most chalets and apartments sit right on the snow front above Bourg-Saint-Maurice.
La Rosière catches the sun all day and holds snow thanks to its altitude and exposure, which makes its wide blues ideal for families and improvers. Cross the col and you are skiing in Italy, with a long lunch and a markedly different feel before you ski home. It is calmer and cheaper than Val d'Isère or Tignes just up the valley.
