Pila
Description
Pila is a purpose-built ski resort in the comune of Gressan, reached directly by gondola from the centre of Aosta in around 18 minutes - one of the few Alpine ski areas you can access straight from a city centre without a car. With 70 km of pistes, Pila is one of the larger single ski areas in the Valle d'Aosta, and it is not linked to another resort's lift network.
