I took my daughter skiing in La Rosiere a few years ago, the skiing on the French side is very easy, lots of big wide runs that made my daughter feel very safe. At Ski Line we recommed La Rosiere for families with young kids as a great introduction to skiing, the slopes face south so its never too cold, although at the end of the season this works against you.
The skiing on the Italian side is a little steeper. The best ski chalets here are loacted in Les Eucherts, its a small developemnt about 10 minutes walk from the main centre. There is a lift, shops bars and ski rental there, so no need to walk. If we can help you find a suitable ski holiday please come back to me. I really enjoy the skiing in La Rosiere, but always avoid that long drag lift, it goes on for ever!

John I would definitely recommend La Rosiere.
Someone on this site recommended it to me a few years back and Iv been twice since then.
I'm an intermediate skier along with my Mrs and we both love it.
There is lots of skiing to be had with mostly wide pistes.
La Thuile side is good but both times we have been it seems that is the side that sometimes gets the worse weather.
The button lift link is a little long and as said above does sometimes get closed, although I have only seen it closed 3 times in 2 weeks of being there. But regarding getting back from Italy it is easy blues that bring you back so there is know way you would get stuck if the life is closed. Iv crossed there on a real windy day.
If you need somewhere to stay in La Rosiere check out the chalet Grand Planica, it has ski in/out and also a swimming pool, sauna, hot tub, steam room. If you book around 3 weeks before you usually get the best price, if it's not already full. Book with Ski Olympic.
We have stayed there twice and definitely would go back.
But unfortunately I'm getting married next year in May so all the money is going to that :( no skiing for me this season.
Also I have 2 videos on YouTube of La Rosiere. Check them out. They were filmed both mid January 2015 and again in 2016.
They might help you make a decision.
