Description
Ski Range 1,150m - 2,640m

Sunny and snow-sure high above the Tarentaise

Its the sunny position, great skiing and incredible views that make staying in La Rosière such a joy. The resort dominates the Tarentaise Valley, and one sweep of the eye takes in the ski areas of Val dIsère/Tignes, Les Arcs and La Plagne.

La Rosière is an established Esprit favourite and is certainly one of the friendliest of Tarentaise resorts. Theres a real feeling that the visitor comes first, and the resorts family orientation is highlighted by their motto: The Resort Where Children Are Royalty.
Child Care
NURSERY - Chalets Schatzi, Grandes Alpes and Ferme dElisa
SNOW CLUB - Chalets Ferme dElisa and Braconnier
COCOA CLUB - Chalets Schatzi, Braconnier and Ferme dElisa

Five mornings a week, children in Esprit Sprite classes and Spritelet Snow Clubbers are collected from their chalets by our staff (and/or the ski school instructors) and taken to the appropriate slopes for their lessons or to one of the resort’s Snow Clubs for morning fun.

At the end of the morning lesson or Snow Club, children joining Supervised Lunch, afternoon Snow Club or with afternoon Sprite sessions will be collected and returned to either the Ferme d’Elisa, Braconnier or Schatzi for lunch.

The Snow Club is based in Chalets Ferme dElisa and Braconnier with outings for their specific snow fun activities. All children in afternoon Sprites or Spritelets will be taken to and collected from their session by our staff and will join the Snow Club children for the remainder of the afternoon, before being returned to their "home" chalet for high tea.

We ask that Nursery children are delivered to their designated Nursery by their parents. Nursery lunches are held in Chalets Schatzi and Ferme d’Elisa. Nursery children must be collected by their parents at 5pm and accompanied at high tea, whilst all other children will be supervised by our staff through high tea until 6pm.

Cocoa Club runs in the Snow Club room in Chalet Ferme d’Elisa, Braconnier and Schatzi from 7.30pm until 10pm on six nights a week and is available to all children aged 6-12 years. Parents are asked to deliver and collect their children.
The Skiing
FAMILIES ****
Our Esprit chalets dominate the area close to the nursery slopes and opposite the main lift system. This prime location makes skiing as a family a joy. The childrens ski classes muster outside the Grandes Alpes chalets, from where their instructors lead them to the appropriate slopes. Parents need only cross the adjacent car park to reach the lifts and be skiing.

BEGINNERS ****
The nursery slopes are just beside the main lifts, with easy transition to blue slopes in the same area. Wide gentle pistes allow for mountain exploration at an earlier stage in learning than in many other resorts.

INTERMEDIATES *****
Intermediates can ski the whole region without having to venture onto taxing slopes unless by choice. Skiing into Italy for lunch is well within most skiers abilities and includes some wonderful tree-lined runs into La Thuile.

ADVANCED ****
There are some good black runs, the steepest being down into La Thuile, but the greatest plus for advanced skiers is the variety of off-piste options. The ski school also organises regular outings to St Foy and Les Arcs, where there is boundless opportunities for the good skier.

POWDER POTENTIAL ***
This is a marvellous area for learning off-piste technique. Much is gentle rolling areas between marked runs, so powder beginners get a comparatively easy introduction to the delights of off-piste. Heli-skiing into Italy can be arranged with the local ski school.

SNOWBOARDING ****
The purpose made fun-park is 500m long with a pyramid, tables and slides with plenty of opportunity for big air. This is complemented by the vast number of off-piste options providing natural half-pipes and gullies, whilst the wide open pistes are ideal for beginners.
Our Esprit Ski Escort will be available for at least 2 days of the week to ski with you and introduce you to the area.
