La Thuile was an important coal mining town before World War II. Today, mining is only a distant memory and the village has completely transformed into a tourist destination. The old village still remains but is located some distance from where the lifts are. The new and modern Planibel hotel complex is located just next to the lifts. La Thuile is situated next to Courmayeur on the Italian side of the Mont Blanc mountain range, but unlike Courmayeur, the lifts at La Thuile take you across to the French side where they connect to the La Rosièra lift system.
The locals from Sainte-Foy-Tarentaise, Tignes and other neighboring villages love picturesque La Thuile for its Italian food culture and for the lift connections with La Rosière. The classic and well-prepared Italian pistes are also adding to the popularity of this place. The off-piste areas can be reached by lift, and cross-country and heli skiing are also available at relatively reasonable prices.
