La Toussuire for beginners

Beginners rating -
71
Perfect
First-timers will find La Toussuire a forgiving training ground. Right near the resort center is the Lutins Gliss nursery area, offering broad, forgiving slopes and user-friendly magic carpet lifts. Once those pizza turns have morphed into parallel, the greens and blues above the village are the perfect next step.

La Toussuire for intermediates

Intermediates rating -

Perfect
Intermediate skiers get the VIP treatment here. Kick off with the expansive blues like Marmotte above the village, then venture to the pistes connecting to five other resorts. The terrain is mostly gentle, so you can marvel at the panoramic views while making your way down.

La Toussuire for advanced

Advanced skiers rating -
Fun
Perfect
While the resort leans more towards beginner and intermediate levels, there are still options for the pros. The Grand Truc peak is a top pick, especially the red run down to Les Bottieres. For an adrenaline-pumping ride, tackle the black run on the Perron, which zips you through a rocky gully.

La Toussuire for snowboarders

Snowboarders rating -
Fun
Perfect
Boarders, especially newbies, have a lot to love here. The resort's wide runs and chairlift-centric design are a welcome feature. Looking to level up? Head over to Mount Cuinat for the boardercross' bumps and gap jumps.

La Toussuire for off-pistes

Off-pistes rating -
Fun
Perfect
La Toussuire offers a freeriding experience that is both diverse and challenging. The resort is known for its vast off-piste terrain, including the steep and deep powder fields of the Grand Truc and the challenging couloirs of the Combe de Bellard. The resort also offers a unique feature for freeriders - the Snowpark du Soleil, a dedicated area with natural jumps and obstacles, perfect for those looking to push their limits.

La Toussuire for families

Families rating -
Fun
Perfect
La Toussuire rolls out the white carpet for families. The Snowpy Mountain kids' area, just a stone's throw from the key chairlifts, is a junior skier's dream with fun slopes and timed runs. When it's time for a break, picnic tables and hammocks await. Beyond the slopes, you've got a range of activities from snow tubing to bowling to keep the little ones entertained.

La Toussuire apres-ski

Apres-ski rating -
Perfect
Poor
The après-ski scene in La Toussuire has a relaxed, easygoing vibe. While things might mellow out as the evening goes on, you can still find some liveliness at places like Le Chamois, where the terrace turns into a hotspot for vin chaud. For something more upbeat, Le Alpes and Le Pop Club offer live music and dance floors to help you groove the cold away.
