How to book a taxi in Pila
Updated: July 13, 2026 · Province of AO
To book a taxi in Pila, call the radio taxi at 0165 1876. Taxis don't stop on the street: you book them or catch one at a taxi rank.
Pila, the Aosta ski resort located at 1,790 metres above sea level in the municipality of Gressan, does not have its own radio taxi service: the most convenient way up remains the Aosta-Pila cable car, which connects the city centre to the upper station in about 18 minutes. For those who prefer (or need) a taxi, the closest option is the Aosta radio taxi, run by the Cotabo cooperative via the bTaxi app and the single number 0165 1876, about 18 km by road from Pila. Alternatively, the resort's official website lists a few local NCC (chauffeur-driven hire) operators, such as Taxi Angelo and PelaTransfer, useful for airport transfers and pre-booked transfers to and from Pila. On weekends and during peak ski season weeks, demand for taxis to Pila can rise sharply, so it's best to book in advance or consider the cable car and SVAP shuttles as alternatives.

Taxi from the airport
Aeroporto Valle d'Aosta "Corrado Gex" (AOT) · ~20 km from the center
There is no official fixed fare for the Aosta airport-Pila route: the roughly 20 km extra-urban journey runs on the meter or on a quote agreed with the NCC operator. Alternatively, from the airport (2 km from Aosta) you can reach the city centre and then take the cable car up to Pila.
Practical tips
- The Aosta-Pila cable car connects the city centre to the ski resort in about 18 minutes, departing near Aosta's train station: a single ticket costs 5 € (one way) and is often faster and more reliable than a taxi on the road during peak-season weekends, when the mountain state road can be congested or snow-covered.
- If you're travelling with skis, boots and bulky luggage, mention it when booking the taxi or NCC: not all vehicles have roof racks or boots large enough for sports equipment.
- During peak season periods (Christmas-New Year, February, Easter holidays), demand for taxis and NCC services to Pila rises sharply: book a few hours in advance, especially for the evening return after the cable car closes.
- In summer, demand for transport to Pila drops drastically: since it's a hamlet without its own taxi rank, it's still advisable to book by phone rather than count on a passing car.
- The Aosta-Pila route (about 18 km) is extra-urban: always ask for a cost estimate when booking, since the fare may run on the meter or be agreed as a flat rate by NCC operators.
