The charming little village is a modest, family-friendly gem of the Three Valleys. With excellent access to the world’s biggest linked ski area and beautiful views from attractive tree-lined runs leading into this laid-back settlement, it’s an understated location to experience the Savoyard delights of snug accommodation and melt-in-the-mouth food at great value.
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.
