La Thuile - The bridge over the Dora di Verney

Highlight • Other

La Thuile develops at the confluence of two main watercourses: the Dora di Verney and the Dora del Rutor. The Dora di Verney descends from the Colle del Piccolo San Bernardo and crosses the inhabited area longitudinally. At the central bridge, near which the wooden sculpture of the skier is located, the stream receives the waters of the Dora del Rutor from the right, fed by the glaciers above and known for the system of waterfalls that characterize its drop into the valley. From the union of these two branches originates the Dora di La Thuile, which continues its course downstream. The urban fabric of the town follows the design traced by these rivers, which define its natural boundaries.

La Thuile

Highlight • Settlement

La Thuile, despite its only 260 inhabitants, is a very famous tourist town. In fact, its ski slopes, its hiking trails and the road that leads to Piccolo San Bernardo make La Thuile a paradise for sports enthusiasts. The center of La Thuile is enriched by the beautiful Church of San Nicola, dating back to the XII century. The name of the town comes from the French language: Tuile, in fact, means 'tile'.

Colle San Carlo

Highlight • Mountain Pass

From Morgex:
Challenging and relentless climb, from a good military road it ascends with very regular gradients that allow, once you find your rhythm, to go steadily to the top without too much trouble.
From Pré-Saint-Didier:
Decidedly easy climb to La Thuile (gradients around 4-5%), from there the climb becomes challenging with severe gradients (although not like those of the more famous Morgex side).
Be careful, in summer, of traffic (on the descent, use great caution on both sides) and of the south-facing exposure which makes it very hot in the afternoon.

View of the Mont Blanc Massif from Colle San Carlo

Highlight • Viewpoint

A beautiful lookout point, a balcony overlooking Mount Blanc. It can be reached from the road that starts next to the restaurant on San Carlo Hill for 1.5 km. The road is unpaved, but with a little care, it's also passable on a racing bike.

The heart of La Thuile – the Preylet Forest

Highlight • Forest

The “Peylet” pine forest in La Thuile is not just a picnic area, it is the heart of the town. A suggestive place, an environment where you can relax and be lulled by the sweet and ancient song of the waters of the Dora del Rutor, the chirping of birds and the squeaking of countless squirrels. Inside it is possible to walk in complete safety, stop at the 52 tables scattered around the area and for the more curious you can stop at various information panels that tell the story of the flora and fauna of the place. 2 and a half hectares, with 14 waste collection points where you can have a perfect relaxing and regenerating picnic
