PILA
	Pila is a world created and built around skiing, among endless forests and slopes always carpeted in powdery snow. All the amenities of Aosta are only a cablecar ride away. The basin of Pila is immersed in an enchanting natural setting. With up-to-date facilities, comfortable hotels, residences and snack bars along the runs, served by technologically advanced installations, this resort is the perfect choice for lovers of total skiing. Its proximity to Aosta, which can be reached, permits guests at Pila to go easily to the city, a relaxing or cultural alternative to sport. Sheltered from the wind, in an enviable panoramic position - the eye wanders over the Alps from the Monte Rosa range to the Mont Blanc chain - the skiing area of Pila spreads over 60 kilometres of runs; the grade of difficulty is generally intermediate but there are also very easy runs as well as others reserved for experts. From the 2600 metres of Couis, the topmost point of the resort, you can ski down to the 1200 metres of Les Fleurs, along perfectly-maintained pistes, winding through coniferous forests and wide clearings. The vastness of the area and the regular snowfall make Pila the ideal place for snow-surfing and telemark enthusiasts. The excursion skier can go along the paths which enter the woods of the small church of San Grato. In the company of mountain guides and skiing instructors you can reach ski climbing objectives of varying difficulty. The "Pointe de la Pierre" offers one of the most exciting runs in fresh snow in Aosta Valley. You can also try the demanding itineraries in the wild mountains of Mont Emilius. Cross-country skiers have an easy track at their disposal. The particularly favourable climate and fine sunny position also make Pila the ideal resort for non-skiers and keen sunbathers. And after a day's skiing you can relax in the discos and nightspots.
