La Rosière
The ski area of La Rosière Espace San Bernardo grew last winter with the opening of a new sector: Mont-Valaisan. Located on the French side, this €15m development created fi ve new red pistes supplied by two detachable six-person chairlifts, at Moulins and Mont-Valaisan. Also new is the four-star hotel Alparena & Spa, which was fi nished over the summer, while two new chalets – Chalet l’Écrin and Chalet de l’Ours – are opening on December 14. And, also new for this winter is the chance to sleep in an igloo. The fun starts at 7pm with an accompanied walk to the igloo village. After a welcome drink, guests share a Savoyard fondue before sleeping in a snow bed covered with animal skins.

Les Arcs
Les Arcs belongs to the Paradiski area in the Tarentaise Valley. It’s made up of four modern villages: Arcs 1600 and 1800, which sit on the treeline overlooking the commune of Bourg-Saint- Maurice; and 2000 and 1950, a hub for free-riding and a fi ve-star resort, respectively. Expect a variety of on- and off-piste slopes, superb woodland runs and a cable car to neighbouring La Plagne. Making the resort even more accessible, the funicular was introduced last year, taking passengers from Bourg-Saint-Maurice to Les Arcs in just seven minutes.
