Members of the unofficial "Malvern Ski Group" (Worcestershire, UK) have been skiing in the sleepy little Italian resort of La Thuile (Aosta Valley, Italian Alps) for several seasons. During the many visits we've discovered a few secrets, and taken thousands of photographs, tested the après ski and met some of the locals. www.LaThuile.co.uk is here only for sharing information. If you have any helpful info then please let us know. We'll share it...
If you're not a member of the Malvern Ski group, then no problem. You're most welcome to take a look anyway... Feel free to browse around the site. If you've been to La Thuile before, or are planning to go there in the future, then this is a good place to look. (Especially as we are not trying to sell you anything!) Enjoy...

... ... ...NEWS HEADLINES... ... ... 5th March 2008 - With snow levels dropping all over the Alps La Thuile still has a fantastic 1.5 meters on the top slopes and a comfortable 40 centimeters at the bottom. 13th January 2008 - WHERE ARE MY SKIS... Just flown into Manchester with Thomas Cook BUT they managed to send my ski bag somewhere else! Got it back by courier eventually! Just in time to fly out to St. Anton. 12th January 2008 - Snow!!! Loads of it. Even black 3 has deep powder on the steep part. Enjoy it! 1st January 2008 - The Webcam page has been updated to show two La Thuile webcams and a La Rosiere webcam too. Also there are a couple of new live-cam video feeds of our favorite resort to watch. Take a look. Ali and I saw the new year 2008 in with champagne in the hot tub with some good friends. Ali did us proud with some fine food (as usual). Thanks also to Sue for doing the salads and to Jill for the puddings.

| La Thuile is a small Italian village with
strong historic links
to mining. The economy of the village is now driven by tourism, with
the winter season dedicated to the large ski
area. During the summer season there is still plenty to do, including hiking and
mountain biking.
The Piccolo San Bernardo Pass links La Thuile with the French village ski resort of La Rosière, to make up over 150Km of piste to explore. |

Huge "intermediate" skiing areas are coupled with fine wide slopes for beginners. There are plenty of opportunities for off-piste skiing. Advanced skiers can find plenty to do too. This makes La Thuile a great resort for groups of varying ability (like our group). The village is linked to the ski area by a DMC telecabin and a fast four man chair. There are state of the art snow making facilities and best of all... hardly any waiting for lifts!
Après ski is more family based than frenzy. There are plenty of friendly restaurants and pubs, or if you want to "club" until the small hours then there is the night club / discothèque, in the Planibel complex. See the 'Eating Out' page
The lift passes are usually cheap and include free ski bus facilities to Courmayeur. The full Whole Area pass will give you unlimited access to the neighbouring French slopes at La Rosière, via the beautiful San Bernardo Pass.
