Tucked within the forest between Courchevel 1300 (Le Praz) and Méribel, La Tania is a peaceful haven that gives guests direct access to the full Three Valleys while maintaining a cosy, relaxed village feel. Its car-free centre, sheltered slopes and welcoming ambience make luxury ski holidays in La Tania especially appealing for families and those looking for an escape from the crowds. Beautiful tree lined runs, excellent ski schools, and easy links to the full Three Valleys ski domain all contribute to La Tania's charm. The luxury chalets in La Tania often sit right beside the pistes, offering ski in/ski out convenience. With its gentle charm, superb location and laid-back sophistication, La Tania is an ideal base for a Three Valleys getaway.
La Tania links into the Courchevel sector of Les Trois Vallées, and just 2 lifts can whisk you up to the heart of Courchevel 1850, or alternatively, over into the Meribel valley. This seamless access to the wider Three Valleys ski area is one of the main draws to La Tania, while the small, pedestrianised village centre ensures it's easy and convenient for family ski holidays in the 3 Valleys. With the main ski runs ending directly in the heart of the village, many of the ski chalets in La Tania enjoy ski in/ski out access. The small size of the village also ensures that most chalets are no more than a few minutes' walk (or a very quick journey with the chalet's driver service), from the main heart of the resort.
At the end of the day the cruising Moretta Blanche red run, and the blue Folyeres piste sweeping gently through the trees are wonderful wide runs that take you back down to La Tania. For beginner and early intermediate skiers, the Plan Fontaine green slope is an ideal alternative from the top of the gondola back down into resort. During a heavy snowfall or in flat light, the tree-lined slopes above La Tania provide some of the most enjoyable skiing in the whole of the Trois Vallées, but its position off the beaten track means that the area is always under-used; always a benefit in the busy Three Valleys ski domaine.
The heart of La Tania apres ski is Pub Le Ski Lodge which sits just at the base of the home run back into the village. With a sunny terrace it's a favoured spot for lunch, as well as boasting highly popular apres happy hours and regular live music.
Whilst catered ski chalets in La Tania are always popular, it's good to know that there are several well regarded restaurants in the village, from quick and easy bistros to the Michelin starred Le Farcon which is perfect for a special evening out. La Taiga is a popular spot for the Savoyard classics of tartiflette, fondue and raclette. It's also worth noting that the free navette bus operates between La Tania and Courchevel Le Praz into the evening so there's plenty of opportunity to explore further afield.
