Fine Cuisine at Chalet Arnica
Includes a skiers' buffet breakfast to start your day, afternoon tea to welcome you 'home', and 3-course evening meals with wine and coffee to complete the evening.
The staff prepare all your meals for you as described. The majority of parents feel that young children can inhibit the dinner-party atmosphere at evening meals, especially if they are over-tired, so children under 13 years are served High Tea at around 5.30pm. They are not then permitted to join adult dinner, as they are generally happier either getting some rest ready for tomorrow’s adventures, or if 6 years old or more, joining our child care staff in Cocoa Club.
Family Dining Chalets
For those families who prefer to eat together with their younger children, we offer our Family Dining option in selected chalet of up to 12 beds, if you book the whole chalet for your own party, subject to chalet suitability. Everyone then eats together in the evening, starting at 6.30-7.00pm. The meals are based on our adult menus, with some flexibility for younger taste buds, although not a complete ‘à la carte’ choice! The additional charge for changing meals to Family Dining is £39 per child.
On their day off, your host in chalets will prepare a Continental-style breakfast which will be left for you to help yourselves. That evening, you and your family then have the chance to eat out in one of the local cafés or restaurants, which your Reps will be happy to help you arrange.
Breakfast
A good breakfast is essential on a ski holiday, so we provide both a cooked breakfast including your choice of bacon, eggs, sausages and beans, as well as a continental selection with a choice of cereals or porridge, fruit juices, plentiful tea, coffee and bread (and croissants in France), cold meats, cheese and preserves, which is normally presented buffet-style for you to help yourself. On our staff’s one day off a week, only the continental breakfast will be provided.
Piste Picnics
Our Chalet Hotel teams can also prepare a packed lunch for you on request, at a small local charge. For those keen to keep their Euro spending to an absolute minimum, this is the ideal way to keep your costs down!
Afternoon Tea
The traditional ‘welcome home’ after a day on the slopes will be laid out for you in your chalet, ready for your return, every day except the team’s one day off each week. A good cup of tea or coffee is the perfect accompaniment to a delicious slice of freshly home-baked cake – different every day!
Children’s High Tea
High Tea provides children under 13 with a healthy menu, but tailored more towards children’s tastes than our main adult dinner, and puréed food is also always available for infants on request. Parents are asked to accompany their children under 36 months at High Tea please, whilst children from 3-12 years will be supervised by the staff.
3-course dinners for adults (and children 13 and over only) start with an apéritif, followed by an appetiser, main course and dessert. The meal is accompanied by a choice of wines, unlimited during the meal service, with freshly chilled water also always available, and followed by complimentary coffee or tea to round off your evening.
Please note from 2018/2019 winter onwards diner will be 5 nights of 7!
Special Diets
Vegetarian options are always on our ‘Culinary Choice’ menu in our Chalet Hotels, and are available in our chalets if you advise us in advance. Other special diets can generally be catered for at a cost of £35 per person per week. Any dietary requirements must be advised to us at the time of booking in order for us to be fully prepared.
La Rosiere is a traditional French alpine village, offering fantastic views, great snow conditions and has a wide range of slopes suitable for all levels of skier. The village is on a high plateau at 1850m, making it one of the highest snow-sure ski resorts in France, offering phenomenal views across the valley towards Les Arcs and La Plange.
Thanks to the St Bernard Pass attracting clouds and the majestic Mont Blanc trapping them, this combined with a high altitude, means La Rosiere has one of the best snow records in the French Alps. With its great snow record and South facing slopes, it provides the perfect combination of snow and sun.
It is situated in the heart of the French Alps, on the French-Italian border in the upper Tarantaise and Savoie ski region. The resort is linked to La Thuile in Italy and together form the Espace San Bernardo skiing area offering 150 Km of pistes.
La Rosiere is one of the top family ski resorts, this is because of its excellent range of beginner and intermediate slopes, and the fantastic quality of childcare and ski schools that is it has on offer. The beautiful surroundings make it the perfect place for groups and families alike to have a relaxed and memorable ski holiday.
We offer a wide range of La Rosiere ski holiday packages in catered ski chalets and self catered apartments departing on either Saturday or Sunday from mid-December till the end of April, from most UK regional airports.
The resort is a charming village and is made up of 3 parts La Rosiere, Les Eucherts and le Golet. All three villages are very close to one another and are only a short walk from one another or serviced by a regular free bus service. Both La Rosiere and Les Eucherts have their own shops, restaurants and ski lift stations where we have many ski in ski out chalets close to the slopes.
This ski area offers great all-round slopes and well-groomed pistes with plenty of tree runs, with wide blues and some testing reds. Although not as big as some of the other French ski resorts there is plenty for most skiers during a week's skiing in La Rosiere. The resort is linked to La Thuile in Italy and forms the Espace San Bernardo ski region with 150km, of slopes. There are also some fantastic mountain restaurants scattered across the ski area, ideal for ski groups who like to explore.
There are a total of 32 beginner pistes, which are nice and wide and not to steep making it an ideal resorts for families and first time skiers. Also the two main pistes that access the village are both very gentle; this is where the free nursery slopes are.
La Rosiere has 29 red runs for those skiers who have already mastered the basics and are looking to progress their ability. One of the more interesting red runs is the Fontaine Froide, dropping 750m through the woods to the Ecudets chair, far below the village with a charming mountain café at the bottom.
There are only 13 black runs in this ski area, so not as many as in other resorts however La Rosiere does boast some of the best off-piste in the Alps, and offers off-piste guides and heliskiing. Some of the steepest slopes are on the La Thuile side, but we would recommend the La Rosiere side, down the Marcassin run to Le Vaz and down the Ecudets and Eterlou runs near the village.
This resort is fantastic for snowboarders as many of the blue and red runs are nice and wide and not to steep, great for carving and cruising. There is one good-sized snow park that is well maintained and has some great views ideal for photos.
One of the best features of La Rosiere is that the off piste is phenomenal including a 20 Km off piste route into La Thuile, and is also one of the few French resorts to offer heli-skiing.

Chalet Arnica
Tell us roughly when you want to go and who is coming, and we will price it with the operators for you.
No obligation. One of the team will come back to you the same day where we can.
La Rosiere is not known for it’s lively après ski, however, there are a few bars that get busy near the slopes at the end of the day, such as Moo bar where there is live music, DJs, and a popular happy hour.
In the evening Le Petit Danois, Fusion and Le Pub which are open till about 2 am, are enjoyed by locals an holiday makers alike.
As it is a traditional French village there are many charming restaurants and cafes to choose from after a hard day on the slopes. With special note to Le Genepi, which serves fantastic cuisine, L’Ancolie has many local delicious dishes and Marmottes that is great for families.
When off the slopes there is a variety of activities to take part in such as helicopter tours, health spa, gym, pool, parapenting, snowkiting, go-karting, bowling alley, ice rink, English cinema, husky sledging and over 11Km of paths which are popular for walkers and snowshoeing.
