A high-altitude ski resort, at an altitude of 2,800 metres
Open since December 2018, two chairlifts (Moulins and Mont-Valaisan) provide access to five runs (red and black): this is the Mont-Valaisan sector.
The highest point in the La Rosière ski area, at an altitude of 2,800 metres, it offers five red and black runs for experienced skiers, with panoramic views of Mont Blanc, the Matterhorn and the Vanoise glaciers.
Snow cover is guaranteed from December to the end of April.
An avalanche transceiver check is available at the summit to check safety equipment before any off-piste excursions.
Freeride in the Valais Alps
This new south-west-facing black run is situated at the top of the Les Moulins detachable chairlift, at an altitude of 2,400 metres, and offers a vertical drop of 425 metres. Although not groomed, it is always marked out and secured; this area is also the steepest in the ski area, with a gradient of up to 74 per cent!!
From the top of the Mont-Valaisan chairlift, take the red run ‘2800’ then the upper section of ‘Combe’ before joining the ‘Freeride Mont-Valaisan’.
The valley to the right of the Mont-Valaisan chairlift, however, becomes an unsecured off-piste area.
REMINDER: Off-piste skiing involves significant risks. For your safety, it is essential to be properly equipped (avalanche transceiver, probe, shovel); you may also wish to be accompanied by a professional.
