La Tania is a ski resort in the Courchevel area of Les Trois Vallees at 1400m above sea level. It was developed for the Albertville Olympics of 1992 and can be reached by road, being about 25 minutes drive from Moutiers.
La Tania village centre
The village centre is traffic free and consists of around 6 apartment blocks, a couple of hotels and numerous chalets spread out through the forest. There are 4 ski hire shops, a Tourist Office, newsagent, bakery, supermarket, post office, lift pass office and 8 bars / restaurants. La Tania has a cash machine situated next to the Tourist Office.
The village is served by a 12 person Gondola which links to high speed quad chair from where you can ski down to either the Courchevel or Meribel ski areas. There is a series of 2 drag lifts that can also take you from the village to the Courchevel side of the mountain. La Tania also boasts the use of the ski-school École du ski Français, the largest ski-school in France, and another ski-school called Magic in motion.
La Tania
There are three pistes that wind down through the forest into the village from the top of the gondola – red, blue and green; with the blue benefiting from snow cannons for all season access. La Tania also has a free beginners drag lift which runs throughout the season (Troika).
With its North-East facing slopes the powder here can often remain overlooked for several days, especially the Gazex couloirs off the Col de la Loze.
