Off-piste in La Thuile
La Thuile is a quieter alternative to the big-name resorts, with a lot of off-piste terrain and few people competing for it. Together with La Rosière in France it forms the Espace San Bernardo, so you can ski in two countries on the same day.
Where your guide takes you
- North-facing La Thuile side: the terrain off the Fourclaz, Belvedere and Petit San Bernardo chairlifts faces north and often keeps good snow after a storm.
- La Rosière and Mont Valaisan: across the border, Mont Valaisan has lift-accessed freeride terrain, and your guide can link both sides in one day.
- Rutor glacier: above La Thuile, the Rutor is a classic ski touring objective with long glacier descents. It needs skins, a harness and a stable day.
How your guide plans the day
Your guide picks the side of the area and the aspect from the avalanche bulletin, the wind and your group's level. With touring gear, the Rutor area opens up for strong groups.
Tour details and pricing
Enjoy freeriding or ski touring in the backcountry of La Thuile. One of our IFMGA/UIAGM guides will plan the day around your preferences, level and the current snow conditions, so you get the best skiing of your trip. La Thuile forms the Espace San Bernardo ski area together with La Rosière in France, so a guided day can cross the border. The north-facing terrain on the La Thuile side often holds good snow, and the Rutor glacier above the valley is a classic for ski touring. If you have ski touring equipment, it opens up even more possibilities. Touring and avalanche gear can be rented locally, and your guide can confirm in advance what you need. Book your guide now for the 2026/27 season and discover La Thuile beyond the marked runs!
