Skiing in La Thuile: Great snow until Spring

Ski season is approaching and all passionate skiers are impatiently waiting for resorts opening. Italy offers great places for ski lovers, especially in the Alps and the Dolomites. Finding the right resort, according to ones tastes and needs, might be tricky thus I will be writing a few posts on the main Italian ski resorts to help you choose.

I am starting with La Thuile – Espace San Bernardo, one of my favourite sites.

Located at the end of Aosta Valley, close to the border with France and Mont-Blanc tunnel, La Thuile is a classic for lots of reasons.

1. Easy to reach: whether you arrive from Milan, Turin or France, you will be driving on the motorway for the largest part of the journey and have to cope with the mountain bending road only to complete the last 10 km. La Thuile is approximately 2 hours from Milan and 1,5 hours from Turin.

2. Slopes for every level: beginners, intermediate and experts skiers will surely have fun. If you feel like having enough experience, don’t miss the challenging black slopes n. 25 and the famous n. 3 Franco Berthod.
