点评:I have skied in La Rosiere and La Thuile every year since 1999, we used to own a chalet there and my son ran a ski holiday company there for many years, so it's an area we know very well and have many friends there.
It's about as far removed from the mega ski resorts nearby as you can be, the friends we made in th early years are still friends, the village although expanded is still the welcoming retreat we have cherished from our first visits.
I have skied in just about every major European ski resort but there is nowhere I would sooner be than the Espace San Bernardo, the contrast between La Rosire's south and south-west facing slopes and La Thule's north facing pistes gives you two resorts for the price of one. When you realise that the snow record is quite amazing, consistently in the top five French resorts for annual snow cover at a cost far removed from equivalent locations, you'll begin to understand why dedicated skiers return here year after year.
It's also offers remarkable value, it's still a family orientated resort where costs are within the reach of an average family.
In a nutshell, in my opinion, the ideal ski resort and I've already booked my next years holiday at the Relais du Petit Saint Bernard owned by my good friend Willy Arpin whose grandfather was one of the pioneers who created the resort in 1961.
翻译:自1999年以来,我每年都会去拉罗西耶(La Rosiere)和拉图勒(La Thuile)滑雪。我们以前在那里拥有一栋小木屋,我的儿子也在那里经营滑雪度假公司多年,所以我们对那里非常熟悉,也有很多朋友。
这里与附近的大型滑雪度假村截然不同,我们早年结识的朋友至今仍是朋友。虽然村庄规模扩大了,但它仍然是我们从第一次来就一直珍视的那个温馨的世外桃源。
我几乎滑遍了欧洲所有主要的滑雪度假村,但没有哪个地方比得上圣贝尔纳多滑雪区(Espace San Bernardo)。拉罗西耶朝南和西南的山坡与拉图勒朝北的雪道形成鲜明对比,相当于花一份钱体验两个度假村。当你意识到这里的降雪量非常惊人,常年位列法国前五,而价格却远低于同等条件的滑雪胜地时,你就会明白为什么滑雪爱好者年复一年地回到这里。
这里性价比极高,仍然是一个以家庭为中心的度假胜地,费用在普通家庭的承受范围之内。
总而言之,在我看来,这里是理想的滑雪胜地。我已经预订了明年在小圣伯纳德驿站(Relais du Petit Saint Bernard)的假期,这家驿站由我的好朋友威利·阿尔潘(Willy Arpin)所有,他的祖父是1961年创建该度假村的先驱之一。
