Ski touring

In the La Rosière Ski Area, 3 marked ski-touring trails allow beginners to discover the sport or improve their skills while staying away from the downhill ski runs. Skiers use these trails only for the descent. To explore the mountains in a different way and in complete safety, don’t hesitate to hire a guide or instructor and ask our ski patrollers for advice on conditions for the ascent.

Note: Skiers are solely responsible for their use of these trails.
