We have been coming to La Thuile for years and we often take for granted how fantastic it is; great snow (even in Dec 2015) which is well pisted, a good range of runs that suit all abilities, efficient lifts and a range of restaurants from mountain huts to fast food places. Our only complaint is the lack of a bubble lift up to Chaz Dura so on windy days this can be off putting. The blacks to the village are fantastic when open, the famous no 3 has been used for the womans downhill in 2016. It is common to see top ski teams train here and in January the world Telemark ski championship is taking place.
The village has a range of restaurants and bars although if you are young the apres-ski might be a bit limited. The locals go to a bar called Angela's bar but there is also a very nice cocktail bar in both the 4* and 5* hotel.
Accommodation: something for all pockets so do your research. We stay in nearby Les Thovex which is a 5 minute drive or 20 minute walk or a 10 minute trip on the ski bus.
