Heading out to pila this week, purposely put trip back a week to avoid half term and carnivale! Anybody out there? Is it now the quiet pila we've come to love?!!

Thinking of heading to Italy next week and undecided on where to go. Thinking of Pila , la Thuile , Courmayeur or Cervinia . Any recommendations for Pila?
is the best place to stay up the mountain or in the main town in the valley? Not fussed on big apres scene but would still like a couple of bars / restaurants.

Pila . . We stay up in mountain but that's because we have both times and never tried Aosta. Did a day trip to Aosta and that's a nice town too bit more happening in the evening I guess. The cable car takes 20 mins to come up? We really like Pila, have been both times out of school holidays. But next year we are doing our first half term experience, and just don't know what to expect from Pila then? Enjoy though wherever you go!

@cbowls30, I just came back from working in Pila yesterday. It was busyish last week as Carnevale coincided with the main UK half term week, however that said there were quiet areas and it was still easy to get pistes to yourself. This coming week is still a UK half term for some but much less busy than last week.
@10196986, I'd stay in the centre of Aosta. It's a beautiful old Italian town with a lovely vibe. It's only 20 minutes up on the gondola and very convenient. If you stayed up the mountain then there are a few bars I guess but I would imagine evenings would be hotel based.
Pila is relatively quiet even in peak weeks. It's because of the fact that it is a big school trips resort and so there is a very large number of beginner and early intermediate skiers. So those areas can be busy but that leaves the rest of the resort really quite quiet!

Anyway, snowHeads is much more fun if you do.

We are in Pila - and its quieter this year than the same week last year. Much fewer Interski groups. We've barely had to queue for a lift the past 2 days.
