Nestled in the forests between Courchevel and Meribel offering excellent access to both resorts, La Tania is known as the Three Valleys' best-kept secret. Proud to be eco-friendly, the resort facilities are powered by a hydro-electric system and has a car-free centre.

Despite its modernity, the village has been designed in-keeping with traditional wooden Savoyard architecture, integrated amongst the beautiful forest scenery. The local businesses are mostly Brit-owned, but visitors can still find very French sights and cuisine.

La Tania is a cheaper and quieter way to experience the mighty Three Valleys ski area, with excellent access to the surrounding slopes and fewer people queuing for lifts up the mountain.

At a respectable altitude of 1400m, the resort is good for ski in-ski out accommodation, with speedy gondolas and chairlifts to get you around the resort in no time, plus slopes which run right through the village for rides back to your doorstep. The range of slopes up the mountains is all-encompassing, with long greens for total beginners and an expansive area to cover for the more advanced skiers and snowboarders.

The amenities to be found here are limited but comprehensive, and the lesser quantity is certainly made up by quality. There are superb restaurants and local favourite bars to choose from. It is a lovely destination for families with excellent childcare services and ski schools. Since the village is rather small, the facilities are all just a short walk apart. Not forgetting that there are ski lockers at by the lifts too, so you don't have to carry those skis very far at all.

Best Time to Visit La Tania

The piste bashers are busy maintaining the slopes throughout the ski season in La Tania which usually runs from December to April. The temperatures are lower earlier in the season and the resort usually sees a good amount of snowfall through to April.

On less sunny days, the tree-lined landscape will work well for improved shelter and visibility. Later in the season, the north-facing direction of the slopes will help to maintain the snow conditions, as well as the 1500 snow cannons heavily covering the linked ski area. Head up the Col De La Loze for more reliable snow at above 2000m. As part of the Three Valleys, you can buy a pass to ski in the snow-sure Val Thorens. The little village is a good destination for a quieter stay during the school holidays, or if you’d like to avoid the crowds on the slopes altogether then aim to book during off-peak dates here.

La Tania is renowned for being a family-friendly resort. Set back in a tranquil location in the forests, it’s a traffic-free treasure that kids and adults will love.

In terms of the ski area, there are two ‘Zen’ (Zone Evolution Novice) slopes - one just above the village - that are quiet, gentle little greens perfect for all ages to find their feet on skis or snowboards. An excellent choice between professional ski schools is available. There are also Kindergarten services for the very young, offering a fun and safe environment for children too young to ski whilst parents get off and enjoy the valleys for a while. Pre-booking such childcare is highly recommended, especially before peak holiday dates. Older children can check out the parks over in Courchevel – the Family Park is designed so that all ages can give the jumps and rails a go.

Choose packages with flights and transfers or channel crossing for self-drive. Our friendly ski experts are on hand to help you find the ideal family accommodation.

I’d skied in the Trois Vallees 20/30 years ago and it was nice to return. I’d recommend La Tania, obviously one of the best things about it is the location in the Trois Vallees. It’s also cheaper than the other bits – we went to one of the local bars to watch the football a couple of times. It wasn’t cheap... + more

Not everyone would like La Tania as it’s quite a small place but I’ve visited a couple of times now and I like it. It’s very convenient for the ski area, you can easily go over to Courchevel where there’s plenty of variety. The weather was pretty good for January too. + more

A return trip to La Tania, it’s a nice quiet resort, not too busy but with good links to Courchevel. It was really hot for February this year, but still one of the best skiing weeks we’ve had. + more

La Tania’s good, it’s quieter than the big 3 Valleys resorts but had everything you needed, from the little supermarket to facilities, bars and restaurants. You have access to the same mountain as Courchevel. We skied round the corner to Courchevel one day, and thought it would be nice to stay there… But a... + more

I had never been to La Tania before this trip. It was good! The only downside was that one afternoon we missed the last lift home and ended up having to get the bus back from le Praz, but we just hung out in one of the bars there and had a few beers, it wasn’t a big problem. The lifts down to La Tania don’t r... + more

La Tania is a place we’d been to before and always said we’d go back. It’s very easy to get to Courchevel, Meribel and Val Thorens (although you’d have to be a good skier for VT) – you just get the lift from the village and go in either direction. It was ridiculously hot this time round and the temperature... + more

We had a great group holiday here. I’ve been to the 3 Valleys many times, but this was my first time staying in La Tania. I really liked it. It’s a nice, little, quiet place. It’s slightly away from the cut and thrust of the 3 Valleys, which is good. There are only a few bars, but there’s enough there. We l... + more
