General info: 

Pila is a famous place in Val d'Aosta. It's very easy to get there with daily buses from the airports in Milano, Torino and Bergamo. There is also a gondola that starts from Aosta City, near the rail station. From the slopes you can see fantastic views like Monte Bianco, Cervino (Matterhorn), Ruitor and Grivola. The resort has a lot of snow, and there is also a powerful snowmaking system. In the last years this resort has built a lot of new lifts, and Pila is now the only ski resort in Aosta Valley to have a 6-seat chairlift. The weather isn't cold, and the resort is sheltered from the wind. The best slopes are Conius, Leissè and Chamolè.
