La Rosière to La Thuile

hi, I skied this route a few years ago and there was talk of a new chairlift being installed to avoid the long drag. anyone know if this has happened?

Not sure it has, there have been a few new lifts elsewhere in resort but not between the resorts. That draglift is a nightmare on a snowboard.

Who would pay for it? France or Italy?

Did do a post on a story on a new lift but not replacing a draglift... https://www.j2ski.com/ski-chat-forum/posts/list/0/21016.page#163114

But I looked at the piste map and zoomed in on the little box top left and it looks like it's still the long drags. I know that plateau is very prone to windy weather (capital of ski kiting!) so that maybe a reason why there's not a chairlift yet? https://z5y4f7y6.delivery.rocketcdn.me/wp-content/uploads/2024/11/DSR_PLANDESPISTES_2024_2025_WEB.pdf

Thanks for the replies.

We skied there last week. Still the long buttons but you only need to do one as you ski down to Fourclaz lidt via Piccolo San Bernardo lift which links you back into la Thuile. New lifts in La Ros to top of Mt Valaison 2900m. I think it'll always be a button on LTH side as can get very windy.

Hey! That sounds like an interesting upgrade. I haven't heard any confirmed reports about the new chairlift being installed yet. It might be worth checking the resort's official site or recent trip reports. Hopefully, someone here has skied the route recently and can share an update!
