What Skiers Say About La Tania

La Tania is a small, purpose-built resort located between Courchevel and Meribel in the Three Valleys, attracting primarily families and mixed-ability groups. Reviewers consistently mention easy access to the wider Three Valleys ski area via a single gondola, ski-in/ski-out accommodation options, and significantly lower prices compared to neighbouring Courchevel. The tree-lined Folyères blue run back to the village is frequently praised, though several users note it can become icy or challenging for beginners later in the season. The Ski Lodge pub is repeatedly cited as the main après-ski venue with live music, while eating and nightlife options are limited to a handful of establishments. Most reviewers describe the atmosphere as relaxed and family-friendly rather than lively.

The 3 Valleys has with out doubt the best lift system serving over 650km of properly linked runs. Offering a good spread of blues, reds and blacks, with virtually the entire area accessible by blues. This makes it an excellent destination for mixed ability groups. Personally I have stayed in virtually all the resorts that make up the 3 valleys, but would pick La Tania as my favourite for the following reasons. Although not all the accommodation is ski in ski out the remainder are all within a short distance from the pistes. The accommodation is mainly chalets and apartments, with one 3 star hotel. There are a handful of good restaurants from Michelin star to bar food all offering good value for money by 3 valleys standards. Apres ski is well catered for in the excellent Ski lodge, with live bands several nights of the week. Overall the resort has a nice community feel and is family friendly. It also offers quick access to both the Courchevel and Meribe valleys with one of the best offerings of end of the day runs.

As far as piste skiing and efficient fast lift system there is nowhere better. The 3 valleys offers over 650km of marked pistes for all levels

La Tania is the perfect family ski holiday who want to go on their first vacation in the mountains. The resort is extremely family friendly with great value for money hotels and chalets. There is a Sherpa right in the heart of the resort which is very handy for groceries to cook at home, or take on the mountain. The ski area is quite small, but it doesnt take away the fun aspect of it. With the 3 valleys being accessible from La Tania, it makes it the perfect budget-friendly way to ski the 3 valleys without putting a hole in your pocket. The groomed slopes are well maintained and quite quiet, which is great for families or people starting out skiing. The night life and the apres ski is not the best, I would say if you are looking for this then it is probably not the best choice. There are plenty of restaurants and bakeries local to the main gondola which make it handy to grab a pastry on the way up to the summit. Overall this resort was really fun and enjoyable and I had a great holiday with my family there. A further note is that the off piste and powder skiing here is not great; with the resort being low down, you are limited for options when it comes to off piste. However, as resorts such as Val Thorens and Courchevel being easily accessible, this is not an issue if you dont mind paying the extra money for a 3 valleys lift pass.

This resort is quite a bit smaller than others giving it more of an intimate atmosphere which we all found really pleasant. There are some great pubs and cafes to go to after skiing we loved the ski lodge! Would definitely recommend this resort.

La Tania is a small resort but it can be a great place for a ski, holiday or trip!

Its a fairly quiet resort, especially in non-peak times.

Amazing for families as everything is very easily accessible and close together is the benefits of a smaller resort

But for those wanting to venture further afield, there is great access to other resorts, such as Courchevel , using only a few lifts to get there

The blue run that enters. The town from the top of the gondola is an amazing undulating tree Run, with lots of little cuts Throughs and ski trails through the trees at the side of the main slope.

There are limited places to eat out, but as long as you book in advance, you shouldnt have any issues, although there is also a small supermarket where frozen pizzas can always be bought!

For such a small resorts, there are actually some quite good off piste sections down through trees and drops off rocks all under the lift line, so youve got to make sure you dont fall otherwise youre gonna hear the shouts and laughter from the lift

The green run into the local town can get quite steep in the corners, and sometimes quite icy in the later season as the snow coverage gets less But within the town itself the nursery and very beginner Slopes are very easily accessible with a drag lift.

There are multiple options for different schools which all deliver lessons in multiple languages. I myself have had group lessons as a child and private more focused lessons as I progressed.

Id Say overall La tania best suits families, looking for a no fuss holiday, more often in chalets as there are lots to choose from.

Ive been back to this resort, maybe 10 times over the years with different groups and abilities, and everyone always comes away Happy

We've stayed in La Tania for years and it's where I learnt to ski. It's a lovely quiet area so ideal for families. Always people sledging after pistes close under the bridge. Lots on during the school holidays. Pub le ski lodge is the place for apres ski and La Taiga for evening meals.is just perfect. Accommodation options are great too, lots of self catered apartments alongside a hotel and a various amount of chalets too. Ski lifts run well but first lift there can be a queue. It's currently having a new hotel and more apartments and another hotel built too. Worth a visit if you want somewhere quiet that's connected to the 3 valleys ski area.

Good small place to access the 3 valleys area without paying the prices of Courchevel or Meribel. Quite low down though so if late in the season skiing all the way down can be a bit hit and miss.
