Resort Information - La Tania

o
 
La Tania is the "New Born" of the Three Valley resorts - a pretty traffic free village nestling in the trees between Courchevel and Meribel with very easy access to the whole Three Valleys areas from it's 12 person high-speed gondola lift, which brings you up to the "Col de la Loze" above Courchevel 1850.  Created originally for the 1992 Albertville Olympic Games and developed since then, the resort is a lower-priced alternative to the neighbouring resorts of Meribel and Courchevel but shares the same slopes with quick access to either area.  Accommodation is primarily in chalets which are situated just above the main village centre but there are also several tasteful apartment residences all offering on-piste location.

The pistes returning to La Tania meander through the heart of the forest with both blue and red north facing runs giving excellent snow conditions from the start to the end of the season.  For added security, the Folyeres blue piste is protected with snow canons so you can be sure you can ski home, even when snow is in short supply elsewhere.  For beginners, La Tania has it's own nursery slope in the village where the ski school is also located so the resort is good for families and mixed ability groups.  The ski schools are of a very good standard with both ESF and Magic Ski Academy offering limited group sizes and quality teaching.

The bars and restaurants in the village all face south, making ideal lunchtime venues - there are also numerous altitude resorts throughout the area for those who would prefer to travel further from home.  From an apres-ski point of view, the popular English run "Ski Lodge" is a lively venue with theme and event nights throughout the season for celebrations such as New Year and St Patrick's Day as well as the famous La Tania Charity Day which takes place at the end of the season.  For those looking for gastronomic excellence, "Le Farcon" restaurant was awarded a Michelin star in 2006 and is an excellent place to eat or for traditional local food, you can't beat "La Ferme".  The "Taiga" is one of the most popular bars/restaurants in the resort with a recently renovated cocktail bar or there's the piano bar at the "Hotel Montana".
