The resort is located a gondola ride above the town of Aosta and makes for a perfect base for snowsure piste skiing.
Most of the runs are marked red and are usually in great condition, thanks to decent natural snowfall, excellent grooming and a comprehensive snowmaking system. Its location just above Aosta means that Pila is much quieter during the week, both on the slopes and afterwards in the bars and restaurants.

Resort ActivitiesPros and cons
- Fantastic pistes – ideal for intermediates
- High treeline means lots of wooded slopes
- Purpose-built convenience
- Can be busy at weekends
- Not a great deal of off piste or challenging slopes
- Relatively small local area of slopes
On the Slopes
At the top of the Aosta gondola there is a neat beginner zone, as is the case in Pila itself. From here progression on to longer blues is good during the week and the middle of the day, but when the main Grimod blue is busy it is a more formidable challenge for less confident skiers and boarders. For intermediates, Pila is home to some of Italy’s best groomed runs, most of which are tree-lined which makes this a fantastic place to be in bad weather.
For more advanced skiers and boarders there are some good blacks above the treeline at the top of the resort and the trees can become one big playground after fresh snowfall. There are also some decent touring options nearby.
In the Resort
Pila has great, purpose-built convenience and as a result is very popular with families and school groups. There is lots of good value accommodation and there are numerous restaurants both in resort and on the slopes, specialising in local Italian cuisine. An alternative is the charming town of Aosta down in the valley – here you will find more variety on the bar, restaurant and shop front.
Getting to Pila
Turin is the closest airport and on a good run, the drive should take less than an hour and a half. Both of Milan’s airport’s make for good alternatives, but the drive will take around two hours.
- Turin airport: 1.5 hours
- Milan Linate/Malpensa airport: 2 hours

Italy
Updated 17/12
A decidedly mixed week is in store across Italy through the end of this week and through the weekend. Things will start mild across the region, with positive temperatures expected at 2,000m. High pressure will bring fine, dry and bright conditions to southwesterley reaches, whilst other areas will retain a mix of cloud and sun.
A large, dense area of low pressure will move in over Ireland, the UK and Northern Europe, bringing snow to many areas on Thursday. Snow will fall from Thursday morning onwards, initially across higher ground but reaching lower slopes as the freezing line plummets; -10°C can be expect across the Italian Alps on Friday.
The best snowfall will fall across higher ground such as the Aosta Valley, with about 15cm down over Thursday and into Friday. Elsewhere, higher slopes of Piemonte and the Dolomites will see a few useful centimetres to keep things fresh. High pressure returns across the region on Saturday, with fine, dry and bright conditions dominating – temperatures will gradually lift as the freezing line climbs over the course of the weekend. Sunday will once again bring more cloud, a possible harbinger of more unsettled and snowy conditions moving in for Christmas week.
