One of France's best kept skiing secrets, La Tania fits discreetly into the fragrant pine forests of Les Trois Vallees, one of the biggest ski areas in the world.
Having been pretty much purpose built in 1992 for the Winter Olympics you're just two lifts away from Courchevel and Meribel in either direction, and the fast new telecabine swiftly transports you to the heart of the 3 valleys, with access to over 600kms of runs. The resort centre is a car-free zone, and the nightlife is quieter than it’s busy neighbours of Courchevel and Meribel, but with a friendly and ‘petite’ ambience, there are various bars and bistros in and around the village.
For beginners, the nursery slopes have a free lift, so total novices needn’t buy a lift pass for the first couple of days. Once more confident, the gentle slopes up towards Courchevel attract the more confident starters.
Intermediates simply burn up miles and miles of the unbeatable terrain that comprises the Three Valleys ski area. The ultra modern gondola whisks skiers up to the Courchevel pistes, and a chairlift provides a direct link to Meribel. There are tempting reds back down to the village of La Tania at the end of the day.
Experts will be tested by the severe mogul fields and a truly wicked ‘Jockey’s’ run down to Le Praz. The off piste opportunities are endless with narrow couloirs and steep descents abundant across the entire Three Valleys area.
