La Tania

A small traffic-free family resort at 1,400m in between Courchevel and Meribel.

featured in Towns & Villages Updated

La Tania is the most recently built resort in Les Trois Vallées. Opened in 1990, it lies midway between its much larger neighbours, Méribel and Courchevel. Its traffic-free centre and convenient size make it especially popular with families.

Comprising wood-clad apartment buildings and traditional style chalets and surrounded by spruce forests, it is more attractive than most modern ski resorts. It lies on a north facing flank of the mountain, at the foot of blue and green runs, with a fast gondola lift into Les Trois Vallées ski area.

Services include bars, restaurants, bakery, supermarket, newsagent, sports shops, tourist office, medical centre, and three ski schools and kindergartens.
