Log in to snowHeads to make it MUCH better!
Registration's totally free, of course, and makes snowHeads easier to use and to understand, gives better searching, filtering etc. as well as access to 'members only' forums, discounts and deals that U don't even know exist as a 'guest' user. (btw. 50,000+ snowHeads already know all this, making snowHeads the biggest, most active community of snow-heads in the UK, so you'll be in good company)..... When you register, you get our free weekly(-ish) snow report by email. It's rather good and not made up by tourist offices (or people that love the tourist office and want to marry it either)... We don't share your email address with anyone and we never send out any of those cheesy 'message from our partners' emails either. Anyway, snowHeads really is MUCH better when you're logged in - not least because you get to post your own messages complaining about things that annoy you like perhaps this banner which, incidentally, disappears when you log in :-)

Just wanted to put a few words in for Pila in the Aosta Valley.
I absolutely love this place. Spent four weeks skiing there in the spring of 2023 And it was glorious. Size is perfect - Cozy but not small And bags of variety. Top is 2700 and the base at 1500 so you’re getting 1200 m of vertical. Really good free ride, especially after a powder fall. Pistes are good for all levels. And the piste preparation is absolutely superb. If you see a one inch bump, it’s time to complain. Also, this part of the world has a superb dry sunny climate because of the rain shadow from Mont Blanc. So loads of sunny days.
Not sure I’d recommend staying in Pila itself. Better to base yourself in aosta , which is a lovely Roman town and there is a super relaxing gondola that pretty much goes from just outside the town centre.
Also super easy access from Turin or even Milan.
Genuinely one of the nicest resorts I have skied in. I introduced the resort to a mountain guide friend from Chamonix Who had never actually Skied there and he said it was the nicest day he’d ever had on piste

Only skied a day there, but I would agree, there was something that just seemed right about what on paper is a small resort.
Well, the person's real but it's just a made up name, see?

We loved it. Seriously considering returning this coming season. Barely scratched the surface for what's on offer within a 1hr radius of Aosta

Looking forward to visiting Pila and the aosta area 2nd week in March next year.
Anyway, snowHeads is much more fun if you do.

It's also great for short trips - I flew to Turin early Friday morning and was skiing by lunchtime, left at about 3pm on the Monday and was home in the UK that night.
