La Rosière is a ski resort in the Savoie region of France. It is situated at 1850 metres in altitude in the High-Tarentaise valley area. The architecture of its buildings is traditional with wood and stone chalets, many of which have stone slate covered roofs. The site, facing south, benefits from exceptional sun exposure and magnificent panoramic views. It is the only resort in France's Northern Alps to propose an international ski area, the Espace San Bernardo, with its ski slopes shared with La Thuile in Italy. The ski area is varied and ideal for all types of skier with well pisted runs through the forests and wide-open spaces for off-piste powder skiing.

Many activities for non-skiers and those simply seeking a moment of relaxation are also available, with a fitness centre, a bowling alley, an ice rink, a cinema and many pubs and restaurants in the resort.
