Once you reach the slopes it is quite easy to enjoy yourself. But getting there in the morning is a logistical nightmare. Parking capacity too little, Lift capacity from Aosta to Pila is very poor, next step from Pila up also a long queue. So overall, during a school holiday I will not visit again. Outside high season might be a different story.
A great resort especially for our children who were intermediate skiers. It was extremely busy for the week we were there and we did have to queue for the gondola up and down everyday.
Very busy when we were at the resort. Lift queues were horrendous at times!
So many runs to choose from, excellent service and good from local establishments.
I would say if you are coming during Italy's "white week" get up past Pila as quick as you can and onto the slopes. The lines for the Gondola at Pila can be frustrating and long. One day it was a 30 to 40 minute wait to get on the gondola.
Pistes and snow quality was great. Very good for families. There is not enough capacity on ski lifts. The queues were very long - sometimes in excess of 30 minutes. If felt like we spent more time queuing than skiing.
Lovely little resort, immaculate fast-running pistes. We went outside of school holidays, and pretty much had the mountain to ourselves.
First time visiting Pila and really enjoyed it - want to return Skiing conditions on and off-piste were interesting and varied Place was well maintained Apre-ski was non existent - could do with a few more accessible bars/restaurants away from hotel
A great ski resort for all skiing abilities. Lovely wide slopes, plenty of cafe/bars also.
3rd visit to Pila and love the place. Only observation is that there is insufficient high quality hotel accommodation.
very good for beginners, small, all the blacks and most of the reds were closed. We came in the weekend before Christmas and I think there was enough snow. one or two reds were closed for trainings unfortunately
We were lucky with the snow but it was very busy on the slopes and getting on lifts.
Second visit to Pila. Ideal for beginner skiers and also good for the more advanced in the group. This year it had some great new restaurants on the slopes and the new gondola was a great addition. Quality ski school. Only downside was not all the slopes were open this year. Having said that we still did some great skiing.
Pila is a lovely resort, would give it 4-5 stars except that the slopes were not yet fully open even by the peak holiday season, so it was disappointing that some reds like (2) were not yet open, and also the new cable car broke down a few times while we were there (luckily we were not the ones to be stuck in there). Otherwise will definitely come back when slopes more open and when cable car teething problems fixed. The new buildings and facilities looked great
First skiing holiday for me. Very good for beginner skiing. Not too big and busy but plenty of skiing to progress. Booked 3 x 2hr private lessons with Scuola di Sci Pila. Leonardo was very good. Which allowed me to progress to complete Black 10 and 27 on day 3. Would recommend private lessons over ski school if you participate in another sport where speed and fast reactions is normal.
Pila is a hidden gem! Family friendly ski resort with low key apres scene. Some great lift upgrades in recent seasons. Beautiful mix of tree lined runs and open bowls. Lots of mixed ability runs, something for everyone. Busy on a weekend but quiet mid week. Lovely restaurants on the mountains and sensibly priced.
Such an easy ski resort to access from Aosta. Loved every minute.
Family friendly resort and excellent for beginners, intermediate skiers less challenging for experienced skiers. Resort is not over crowded and lift access was great. This is our second year in a row and will likely be back again next year. We stayed at the Etiole de Neige and the staff are excellent and the food was good.
We keep coming back as had everything you need for epic family ski holiday.
Great set up, lots of facilities.
Pila is a super family mountain
Book half board if you can there are not many places to eat in the evening. The restaurant that are there are good. Brasserie Grimondet, Piazzetta and the Yeti
Great place for families. Not a huge resort but enough piste for a week. Very nice range of runs, good for boarders too. Recommend Della Nouva hotel (ski in/out) Pila with 2 fantastic restaurants nearby. Or you can stay in Aosta with cable car up.
Pila is a wonderful mountain for intermediate skiers, it has a great combination of tree skiing, wide open spaces, varying levels of steep terrain and fantastic grooming and preparation of the slopes. There are a couple of quite old, slow chairlifts but mostly the lift system works very well. In the 6 days that I skied there (mid-January), I very rarely queued for more than a couple of minutes. Also, the lift attendants helped me out when I fell on more than one occasion embarking and disembarking the chair. Tried a couple of on-mountain restaurants and the food was very good at reasonable prices.
Under rated ,lovely resort.
great little ski resort, fantastic scenery and wonderful skiing. My only very small gripe is that I think the lift network isn't extensive enough, which meant a lot of queueing on certain lifts at peak times.
A good resort for a short stay - but possibly not big enough for a weeks stay ( we skied for 4 days)
Good skiing for intermediate levels. Night life is non existent for those wanting lively apres-ski but suited my group fine.
Decent range of runs including couple of very challenging reds. Good few cafe's and basic restaurants bottom of main piste. Good parking in Aosta to get 20 minute gondola up to Pila.
We loved it - friendly, a beautiful location, wonderful food and a great small resort for families. We would love to visit again.
Lovely resort
Kept the pistes in great condition despite hot sunny conditions EVERYDAY. Could do with a Supermarket top of resort.
Skiers paradise. Plenty of slopes for all abilities. Not much apres ski action but if you are here for skiing it is perfect. Great mountain restaurants.
Great runs, largely red with a few blues but the reds were very varied in layout and difficulty so something for everyone !
Small resort.
Pila is a great ski resort with everything you need for a short ski break! Beautiful views and array of slopes for all abilities. The cafes on the slopes were really cheap! We will definitely be back!
quiet chilled pistes, excellent snow, great Piste-side restaurants and the sun shone every day - top marks
Great skiing, fab mountain huts and plenty for size of resort. Hotel Etolie de Neige highly recommend. Will be back next year!
Stazione turistica molto comoda per le famiglie.
Tutto eccellente dalla struttura al comprensivo al noleggio dell’attrezzatura
Ben organizzata. B&B Ca' de Sassi ottimo. Abbiamo mangiato molto bene al ristorante La Piazzetta.
Questo anno la stazione è rinnovata, bella, la consiglio. Ho avuto solo il disagio deglu ascensori fuori uso e salire e scendere per turti gli sciatori con gli scarponi non era il massimo. Visto il nuovo progetto si potrebbe inserire un tapis rulant, è un'idea!
Incantevole
Una garanzia, piste stupende
Troppa gente in questi gg 65 minuti di attesa ad Aosta prima di salire sono troppi!
Ho rimesso gli sci ai piedi dopo quasi 20anni, per me è stata la prima volta a Pila pur essendo di Aosta...con me mio figlio che non sciava da qualche anno. Abbiamo prenotato una lezione con la scuola di sci evolution, dopodiché ci siamo avventurati con successo per il comprensorio. Abbastanza facile capire le piste. Fantastico il poter raggiungere la stella con la telecabina e ottime anche le fermate che permettono di poter scendere sciando in base al proprio livello.
Ottima e super confortevole
albergo sulle piste offre una esperienza di sci ottimale per tutti i livelli di sci. Neve stupenda e impianti ben tenuti con poca fila. Belle piste, adatte a tutti i livelli di sci. Perfetto per le famiglie ma anche per sciatori senza figli e per i non sciatori
Piste e neve ottime, se proprio devo trovare un difetto credo che gli impianti fossero un po sottodimensionati e quindi si creasse un po troppa coda
Pila è perfetta per chi ama sciare con calma e con tutti i confort!
Il posto sciistico molto bello per le famiglie.
Posto unico e bellissimo. Forse un po' troppa Fila sia per i biglietti che per risalire sulle piste. Sarebbe fantastico un unico biglietto per tutto.
STAZIONE BEN ORGANIZZATA , NON HO FATTO FILE PARTICOLARMENTE LUNGHE NONOSTANTE L'IMPORTAANTE AFFLUSSO DI SCIATORI
Nice skiing area with a great family friendly vibe. For starting and experienced skiers enough to do, although limited number of black slopes.
Pagato giornaliero intero senza che fosse segnalato un guasto importante ad un impianto principale.
Bel comprensorio per sciatori di tutti i livelli.noi abbiamo soggiornato in un albergo vicino le piste la chace lasciando l'attrezzatura al deposito di evorental è stata un'ottima soluzione. Pila per chi non scia offre possibilità di belle passeggiate nella natura e per i bimbi parchi giochi e zone dove poter usare il bob
Un piccolo gioiello sia a livello paesaggistico che tecnico. Ambiente e persone molto accoglienti. Eccellenti i nuovi impianti di risalita anche sotto l'aspetto di impatto ambientale.
Le piste sono ampie e presentano vari livelli di difficoltà, non sempre però risultano ben battute la mattina. Il nuovo impianto (ovovia) ha avuto dei problemi nei giorni in cui abbiamo soggiornato a Pila, anche se poi la situazione è stata risolta.
Impianti vecchi e molte piste chiuse.
Che dire gli impianti sono ottimi e funzionali. Le piste sono tenute benissimo. Si vede la cura e la dedizione che rende questo posto funzionale e magico.
Benissimo sia gli impianti che le piste
Pila è un luogo fantastico per grandi e piccinii. È stata una bellissima vacanza
Purtroppo c'è stato intoppo della telecabina in avaria. Ciò non impedisce di apprezzare l'alto standard di tutto il complesso sciistico.
Buona stazione sciistica, forse un po' troppo affollata ma visto il periodo (Natale) molto comprensibile. Prezzi medi-alti per skipass e ristorazione.
Efficiente e organizzata.
Skipass a prezzo pieno per avere 8 piste aperte da domenica 21 dicembre al 28. Tra l'altro piste aperte e non battute, pericolose per chi è all'inizio. l giorno 27 dicembre alle 15.50 circa, un operatore che spalava la neve si è rivolto malissimo nei miei confronti e della mia famiglia, a mio avviso senza motivo.
tutto perfetto
Panoramico comprensorio sciistico, comodissimo da raggiungere in telecabina da Aosta, adatto sia a famiglie che a sciatori esperti.
Tornerò sicuramente
Ben fornita di tutti i servizi sia per sciatori ma anche per chi vuole semplicemente farsi una ciaspolata o passeggiata anche in compagnia degli amici a 4 zampe! Ottimo anche per famiglie con bimbi per ampia zona gioco sulla neve! Bar, ristoranti, WC riscaldati e puliti, affittacamere, centro assistenza e info... c'è davvero tutto!!
Questa e' stata la mia terza permanenza a Pila di cui apprezzo la comodita' per essere raggiunta,gli impianti che comprendono molte seggiovie e nessun skilift. Il punto piu' forte e' comunque la preparazione ottima delle piste.Tra i migliori comprensori in Italia.Ci ritornero' sicuramente.
Tutto semplicemente FANTASTICO. Pila è meravigliosa.
Ho apprezzato la qualita delle piste molto larghe e la buona segnaletica una stazione sciistica per tutti
Pila è semplicemente fantastica!
Es un lugar muy accesible en precio y ubicación. Creo que es una muy buena opción para principianrtes.
На данном курорте большие очереди на подъемники, мы не опытные лыжники первый раз столкнулись с таким.
Our first time to Pila and it didn't disappoint. A beautiful location for our family loads of blue and red runs. Will definitely return
