Pila reviews

Pila has had a lot of investment since my last vist in 2006, new cable car to Aosta. Snow conditions fantastic, best for 20 years according to locals, 250cm at top, 150cm in village, had more snow on Xmas day, rest of time was sunny, but very cold on Fri and Sat, -10 both days, Stunning views from Mont Blanc to Matterhorn. Pistes very well maintained, Grimondet lift open at last! lovely red run through the meadow. Red runs 1 and 2 were excellent. Great resort for 1 week if you want deserted pistes and reliable snow.

Our mixed group of friends and family had a fantastic time, the children were really happy in the ski school which was much more caring than larger more commercial resorts we've been to, the intermediates were particularly well catered for ample blues and reds, the more advanced skiers took advantage of the Aosta valley lift pass which includes two days in other resorts and spent a day in Courmayeur and Cervinia. We also had a none skier who took the 15 minute cable car ride down into Aosta most days for lots of lovely shopping, site seeing and people watching in the piazza.
