French resort La Rosiere, part of the international Espace San Bernardo ski area which crosses the border to link with Italy's La Thuile ski area is spending 15 million Euros on expanding the ski area next winter, according to a report from tour operator Peak Retreats (www.peakretreats.co.uk).
The company says that the resort's plans include building five new red graded pistes, bringing the total for the area up to 198km of runs, and adding two new 6-seater lifts.
"The addition of the new Mont-Valaisan peak will raise the altitude to 2800m and create lots of secured new free-riding opportunities," a Peak Retreats spokesperson said, continuing,
"With a limit on beds, the plans will expand La Rosiere whilst maintaining its family-friendly atmosphere that brings loyal families back time and time again."
This season La Rosiere has experienced record snow levels with over 10m of snow having fallen so far during the 2017/18 season.
