La Thuile
Description
La Thuile sits at 1,440m at the head of the Valle d'Aosta, close to the Petit Saint-Bernard pass into France. Together with La Rosière on the French side, it forms Espace San Bernardo, a genuine cross-border ski area shared on a single skipass. La Thuile's own slopes are wide, open and largely above the treeline, with a reputation for good snow and relatively quiet pistes compared to some of its Valle d'Aosta neighbours.
