New restaurants
- Last winter, local pastry chef Judith and her husband Alexandre opened Le Terroir des Vignobles, a small gastronomic restaurant offering a refined menu in a cozy and minimalist setting. Both worked previously at the famous Michelin-star restaurant Le Chabichou in Courchevel, and Le Terroir des Vignobles is already mentioned in the famous prestigious French guide Gault&Millau. Alexandre has curated a selection of hidden gem wines from small producers and works on the starters and main courses in the kitchen. As the pastry chef, Judith concludes the meal with skilfully crafted and original desserts. www.instagram.com/leterroirdesvignobles/
- With 17 years of experience in the resort, Marc Pirard, former coach of the French ski teams, has opened the Olympic Sports & Café shop on the central snowfront. This 280m2 space offers rental and equipment sales services, ski storage, a boot fitting service and a café, making it a fun hub for socializing and interaction. Throughout the day, locally sourced homemade meals will be available quickly to customers. Events will enliven the season, including free ski tests every week, film screenings, themed nights, and après-ski music sessions. In partnership with the off-piste division of the ESF (French Ski School), every week visitors will receive information about off-piste conditions and safety measures for the week.
New on the slopes
- This winter, the beginners' snow front in the Les Eucherts area is getting a makeover with the replacement of the Dahu drag lift with a 4-seater fixed chairlift. La Rosière has a 3-hour beginner pass. It costs €23 and gives access to 5 lifts.
- Skiers, boarders and hikers can enjoy a new covered picnic area with electric grills, loungers, and picnic tables. Located where the golf course lies in the summer, it provides a warm space for visitors to enjoy their picnics whilst enjoying an incredible view of Mont Pourri.
Unique and fun activities
- The Forest Theatre of La Rosière has been built right in the heart of the Forest Trail, connecting the two parts of the resort. Constructed entirely from larch wood, a durable local timber, and without any concrete, it stands as a testament to sustainability. Its wooden foundations are securely anchored several meters deep. With a capacity of up to 200 people, it hosts a diverse range of events: concerts, shows, open-air cinema... You can even have your wedding here!
- Snow golf tournaments: A part of La Rosière’s 9-hole golf open in the winter and, new for this season, it will host a snow golf tournament every month.
