Show sights

Do not miss to have a look at the architecture during your stay in La Rosiere because the village was especially designed respecting mountain architectural traditions. Sightseeing highlights also include the ruins of border fort “Redoute Ruinée” which was built in the end of the nineteenth century after France had lost Lorraine and Alsace to Germany. During World War II, the French reinforced the building to prevent Italy from crossing but the heavy fighting has heavily damaged it. In addition, if you are looking for a very special experience you should not only visit the La Rosiere ski hire but also try heliskiing – heliskiing is not allowed in France but despite the fact, you can do it here because La Rosiere is linked with Italian LaThuile.

Show destinations

If you get tired of the ski hire La Rosiere and restaurant routine you can always do a day trip to one of the bordering countries. You are able to choose between Italy and Switzerland. However, the Haute-Savoie – or Upper Savoy – offers countless possibilities as well: famous Évian-les-Bains for example lies on the shore of Lake Geneva, which belongs to France. Lake Geneva is only a short journey away, either the French shore of the lake or the Swiss one - you just have to cross the northern border of Haute-Savoie and are in Switzerland. Italy with its nice restaurants can be reached in a short drive southwards.
