TH Pila

Already second time in 2 years! Best place to stay in Pila for ski and for kids. You reach the slopes directly from the back door of the hotel. Good food and the baby club makes your holiday perfect!

We were worried about the mixed reviews but on balance this was a good holiday. YES the restaurant is very busy but the food was good and the waiters/staff so pleasant and friendly amid the frenzy. This hotel is all about the location and the food. The rooms are dated but adequate. Don’t even factor in the pool as it is very odd and don’t think you’ll be using the sauna as it wasn’t even operational. Pila is a good resort so to be right on the slopes and staying full board makes it a great place to stay. I would go again. Just update the rooms and don’t advertise the sauna if you aren’t going to offer it.

We were a group of 6 friends, staying in Pila for the first time. We’ve been to TH hotels in La Thuile and this was a very similar experience. The hotel mainly caters for families and appears to have extensive entertainment for children until 10.30pm followed by musical entertainment in the bar area until 11.30pm. After this time the hotel was pretty quiet and we were able to get a decent nights sleep. The rooms are very warm and we weren’t able to adjust the temperature in the rooms so slept with the window open which cooled the room, but perhaps not the most environmentally friendly use of energy. The hotel staff were extremely helpful and friendly and most were able to communicate in English, although we did try to speak in Italian. We hired ski equipment from the Ski Rental on site Evo Rental and we were all pleased with the quality of service and the comfort of the boots most importantly! The selection of food was extensive and although the dining room was very busy at meal times, it’s worth just dealing your entry time to avoid the intial rush. Ski in, ski out was exactly that. Straight out of the boot room on to the piste and ski down to a choice if 2 lifts. The pistes and lifts were generally very quiet in the week with little queuing at lifts. The weekends are busier with skiers coming up from Aosta. Well maintained pistes with a large beginner area on Blue 15 with ski school, but more suitable for intermediates with mainly red runs that tend to be a little icy in the shade. Just head over to the reds in the sun first! All in all, a fantastic weeks skiing. Blue skies everyday too! Thank you to all the staff at the hotel and Evo Rental.
