La Thuile Ski Passes
Pre-booking your La Thuile ski pass with Erna Low crosses one thing off your list before you’ve got off the sofa.
With your pass in the bag, you get a much smoother start on your first morning hitting the slopes. La Thuile sits on the Italian side of the Espace San Bernardo ski area, which connects with La Rosiére/a> on the French side to create 160km of cross-border terrain. Lifts cross the Little St Bernard Pass at 2,188m, linking the two countries, making this one of the Alps' unique ski experiences. And sorting your pass with us means you get to make the most of every kilometre here from day one.
At Erna Low, pre-booking your La Thuile ski pass is a total breeze and can be arranged as part of your overall ski holiday package (alongside flights, accommodation, lessons, hire, and transfers), all in one place. Please note, the ski pass rates you see on our pages reflect the official prices set by the resort - the same rates you'd find at the ticket office in La Thuile. Pre-booking with us won't cost you a penny more. On the ski extras page, simply select the pass type, choose the number of passes you need, add them to your basket, and continue with your booking. Everything is clearly laid out before you confirm, so there are no surprises. And that's it, tutto fatto, before you've even started packing!
Types of ski passes in La Thuile
La Thuile offers two distinct ski pass options, each covering different areas. The local La Thuile pass covers the lifts and slopes within the resort itself - a practical option for skiers looking to stay closer to home base and focus their skiing within the immediate area. Skiers with a larger appetite should go for the Espace San Bernardo pass. Opening up the full 143km of cross-border terrain, it connects La Thuile on the Italian side with La Rosière on the French side in one seamless, dual-country ski experience. This is the ideal option for skiers looking to cover as much ground as possible on their holiday.
The passes are available in a range of durations, from a single day to a full week and beyond, making it straightforward to match your pass to the exact length of your stay. For a week-long holiday, the full weekly pass represents the best value and ensures you have complete freedom across the entire ski area throughout your trip.
FAQs
Can you ski into France with a La Thuile ski pass?
Yes, but you’ll need to purchase the ski area pass – not the La Thuile pass. The La Thuile ski pass covers the local ski area and lifts, while the Espace San Bernardo pass, which covers the entire ski area, allows access to La Rosière in France, one of the main highlights of skiing in La Thuile. The Espace San Bernardo is a fantastic option for skiers looking to explore the larger area and enjoy two Alpine cultures in one trip.
Can I upgrade my La Thuile ski pass during my holiday?
Yes. In many cases, you can upgrade your pass coverage from the La Thuile ski resort pass to an Esapce San Bernardo ski area pass. This flexibility is particularly helpful for skiers who want to explore more of the mountain and the ski area. Upgrade options may depend on the pass type and the number of days remaining, so please ask at the lift pass office as early as possible. Upgrading can be particularly useful in La Thuile because of the FOMO driven by cross-border skiing opportunities in France.
Is it worth buying a La Thuile ski pass in advance?
Yes, buying your La Thuile ski pass in advance is usually worth it, particularly during busy weeks such as Christmas, New Year and February half term. It’s particularly worthwhile in La Thuile, thanks to the resort's automatic ticket machines, which allow skiers to pick up pre-booked passes. A game-changer, this allows skiers to collect their passes not only when there are long queues but also when the ticket desk is closed. It also means you can pick up your ski pass on the day of arrival (if you arrive after the ticket desks are closed) and be ready to hit the slopes early the next morning.
Do children need a ski pass in La Thuile?
Yes, while there are discounted rates for children in La Thuile, children over 8 years old will need a ski pass to access the slopes. Children under 8 ski for free when accompanied by a paying adult. Checking the latest age categories and pass conditions before travelling is always recommended, as policies can occasionally change between seasons.
