Pila Beginner Skiing
Pila has wide, gentle, snowsure nursery slopes with child friendly magic carpet lifts, conveniently located in the centre of the village, and a variety of runs for novices to progress onto including some easy redsfor near-novices. Other resorts may have more blue runs but Pila is still a good place to learn to ski.Beginner Skiing in Pila
The Baby Pila and Baby Gorraz surface lifts provide ideal terrain on which to make a start and first time beginners will soon progress to skiing Pila’s longer blue runs, including Pila’s longest run, the Grimod, a 6km long descent which winds its way from the top of the Leisse chairlift all the way down to the village.
Beginners can practice on a short stretch of Pila’s longest run by using the 4-man Grimod chairlift; a great way to build confidence before attempting the full descent to the village. The Nouva chairlift gives access to the La Chatelaine blue piste (number 5), which can also be reached from the top of the Chamole chairlift.
Pila’s lift system is beginner friendly, with no drag lifts to negotiate, and although 22 of 29 runs are rated red, some of these are wide, not too steep and not too crowded and hence they are also suitable for beginners to progress onto once they have mastered the blue runs.
Other ski resorts have more blue runs (and sometimes green runs too), but against this must be balanced the fact that Pila’s blue runs and nursery slopes are high and North-facing, so are much more likley to have good snow and therefore will be easier to learn on than lower or south-facing runs. Another advantage is that Pila has woods, which beginners find much more enjoyable and easier to ski in than a bleak open bowl when bad weather closes in or the light is poor. And lastly, Pila is a quiet and uncrowded resort, and that helps beginners as well. So don’t just judge a resort’s suitability for beginners on the quantity of its blue runs: quality counts as well, and Pila scores highly on that.
The Pila Ski School offers a range of group courses for beginners of all ages, and has excellent facilities for children. Children from age 3 can join small group classes of similar aged children and ski lessons can be combined with the nursery facilities of the Aquilotti Mini Club to keep children entertained throughout the day as required.
