Top Things to Do in La Rosiere
La Rosiere has become renowned for authentic ski breaks and being famous for the only French and Italian connected ski resort, allows you to ski both in France & Italy on one holiday. Families have grown to love La Rosiere with its friendly and passionate locals making it the perfect escape to explore the beautiful mountain region of Espace San Bernardo.
If you want a real life mountain experience coupled with savoyard cheese fondue we would recommend visiting the Village Igloo La Rosière and you can even stay here if you want overnight. Alternatively if that sounds a little bit too cold for you, then don’t worry we would also recommend Le Solario and L’Alpage At The Alparena Hotel where you enjoy cosy Mountain brasserie with a panoramic terrace sitting at 2000m altitude.
Le Flocon is another great choice, enjoying a street food menu on steroids, everything from Pancakes, asian nibbles, pastas to pizzas. The deck outside and views of Mont Pourri or even catch a game of Bowling here to entertain the kids (or big kids at heart).
If you’re looking for a combination of tasty bar food with live music that looks no further than Le Comptoir. You can enjoy tasty bar eats, maybe catch a game on a pool table, enjoy time on the outdoor patio with mountain views with great live music & DJs late into the night.
