Discover La Thuile: Slopes, Lago Verney and Culture

La Thuile offers you a variety of travel experiences combining winter sports, alpine nature, diverse trails and culture. When choosing a holiday apartment in La Thuile, it is best to base your decision on the themes you want to shape your stay: extensive days of skiing, hikes through remarkable landscapes, mountain bike tours or discoveries related to the history of the Aosta Valley.

International Skiing

The Espace San Bernardo ski area has 152 kilometres of slopes. At the same time, Espace San Bernardo connects Italy and France with a shared international ski pass. This gives your winter planning a clear focus if, in addition to alpine skiing, you would like to experience the area's cross-border character.

Lakes, Waterfalls and Trails in the Mountain Landscape

Lago Verney lies at an altitude of 2,088 metres, covers more than 20 hectares and is one of the largest glacial lakes in the region. Several hiking trails with different levels of difficulty begin at Lago Verney. The Cascate del Rutor, three waterfalls fed by water from the Rutor Glacier, are also located near La Thuile. The hike to the Cascate del Rutor follows alpine trails and old mule tracks and includes an iron bridge with a view of the third waterfall.

Routes on Foot, by Bicycle and E-Bike

The Museo a Cielo Aperto di La Thuile comprises 15 sightseeing routes for trekking and three e-bike routes. You can explore the museum on foot, by bicycle or by e-bike, independently or with the assistance of a guide. For active days, the Natural Trail Area and the La Thuile Bike Park complement this offering with 170 kilometres of mountain bike routes and trails.

Culture and History at the Pass

The Maison Musée Berton preserves the appearance of an elegant residence in the Aosta Valley. The rooms have been preserved as the owners furnished them; they house books, ceramics, sculptures, prints and inlaid furniture. The Trekking nell'antica storia route offers another way to access the past: the more than two-kilometre circular route around the Passo del Piccolo San Bernardo passes Celtic cult remains, former Roman mansiones, sacred columns, medieval hospices, evidence of wars and historical finds dating back thousands of years.

The Cammino di Saint Martin di Tours also begins in La Thuile and leads to Saint-Germain di Séez in France. When choosing your holiday apartment, you can therefore consider whether you would like to focus your stay primarily on slopes, nature trails, cycling tours or cultural discoveries. The different types of experiences make it easier to look for accommodation based on your group's daily rhythm and travel interests, without committing to just one type of holiday.
