Pila
A ski and mountain resort reached by cable car directly from Aosta city. Its slopes offer views of Mont Blanc and the Matterhorn.
Pila sits on the mountain south of Aosta at about 1,800 meters elevation. Its slopes reach up to Couis peak at about 2,700 meters, with roughly 70 km of runs, mostly intermediate. It suits families and intermediate skiers. From the summit you can see Mont Blanc, the Matterhorn, Monte Rosa and Gran Paradiso all at once. The Aosta–Pila cable car leaves from near Aosta railway station and takes about 18 minutes to reach the top. The cable car also runs in summer, making Pila suitable for hiking, mountain biking and outings with children. Winter ski pass prices follow the official website.
