La Tania (3 Vallées) Information
Originally a small hamlet midway between Méribel and Courchevel, La Tania nestles in the heart of a fabulous spruce forest and has been caringly designed with an emphasis on wood and traditional materials. La Tania is the youngest resort in the 3 Valleys – it’s entirely pedestrianised with parking located on the outskirts.
La Tania was developed for the 1992 Albertville Olympics by the same award-winning team of architects responsible for Avoriaz, who were once again determined to respect the natural beauty of the exceptional setting. Recent years have seen the six original timber-clad apartment blocks in La Tania’s traffic-free heart joined by smaller chalet-style developments, but the village retains its compact and cosy feel and is largely hidden from the outside world by its peaceful, woodland setting.
Although it may not quite demonstrate the kind of Alpine touch you might find in other resorts, it is, after all, a relatively new ski resort (built in 1991) so it inevitably lacks the history and style of older Alpine villages.
Designed with skiing in mind, this purpose-built resort has a rather modern touch to it, as opposed to “rustic alpine”. It’s very practical for skiing - much of the accommodation is ski-in, ski-out, and centred around the Front de Neige.
The development of tourism in La Tania has been carried out in accordance with the environmental protection requirements constituting the most wooded area of the 3 Valleys. La Tania also has the Green Resort Award.
Peak Retreats offers a range of La Tania accommodation options. All of La Tania's ski apartments have been hand-picked and are of a very high standard, providing the ideal base for a La Tania ski holiday.
LA TANIA SKI AREA
Arguably the French Alps' best-kept secret, La Tania enjoys a fantastic location in the very heart of the world-famous Three Valleys ski area - the world’s biggest linked ski area.
Unlike the rest of the 3 Valleys, La Tania’s ski domain is wooded on its lower slopes.
Linking up with nearby Courchevel is relatively easy. Take just two ski lifts to the Col de la Loze and then ski on to Courchevel, Méribel and the whole of the 3 Valleys. From the slopes above Courchevel there are stirring views across to Mont Blanc and over to Champagny/Bellecôte in the next valley. La Tania’s detachable Bourc Blanc six-seater lift capacity has risen by 32% thanks to increased power, which also means faster links between the La Tania and Loze sectors and Courchevel.
The 3 Valleys benefit from excellent snow coverage - the minimum altitude level for skiing is 1300m and the maximum is 3230m. This means that a huge 85% of the ski area is located above 1800m. Some 2000 snowmaking machines cover a third of the ski area as well. The 3 Valleys offer wide ski runs that are maintained nightly by 80 piste-grooming machines. While its illustrious neighbours Méribel and Courchevel grab all the media attention, La Tania quietly gets on with doing what it does best: providing skiers in the know with an attractive and affordable base from which to explore the immaculately-groomed and near-limitless terrain of the world’s largest ski area.
“A very attractive budget base for the vast slopes of Courchevel and Méribel – and not bad looking for a purpose built resort.” So said the Ski Guide of Great Britain in 2010.
The slopes at La Tania are North-East facing. A gondola from the heart of the village leads up to the ski area, with the nursery slope on your doorstep. To reach Courchevel from La Tania village, there’s an easy slope but the journey back from Courchevel involves a blue run. The slopes directly above La Tania are wooded so it’s ideal for visibility during bad weather (probably the best place in the 3 Valleys for this!). If you go up a little further, the slopes are wide open.
From the main gondola, you can then take chairlifts and/or draglifts to bring you into Courchevel 1550 or 1850. There’s a fast link to Méribel via the Col de la Loze.
For children, La Tania/Courchevel also benefits from the ‘Magnestick’ lift system. The Courchevel/La Tania/Méribel-Mottaret resorts are always on top of technology for skiers’ safety - three years after the development of Magnestick®KID - special safety for transporting small children on chairlifts - the Société des 3 Vallées (S3V) which operates the Courchevel / La Tania/ Méribel-Mottaret resorts will be the first skiing area in the world with 100% of its chairlifts equipped with the very new Magnestick®BAR.
For the Magnestick®KID, Magnets are used to hold a specially designed child’s jacket to the chairlifts.
Eight chairlifts (Dou des Lanches, Plantrey, Biollay, Pralong, Roc Mugnier, Signal and Bouc Blanc) are equipped with the Magnestick®BAR technology in Courchevel making it the best-equipped resort in the world. Magnestick®BAR is the universal safety bar locking system. This innovative technology can be adapted to all brands and all types of chairlifts. It works with the same "magnestism" technology as the Magnestick®KID. When the passenger pulls down the safety bar, it locks automatically. It is then impossible to pull the safety bar up. It is automatically unlocked just before the arrival station.
This also means that no-one on the same chair can pull the bar up too early before the lift arrives, perhaps making other passengers anxious or uncomfortable.

LA TANIA SKIING
LA TANIA BEGINNERS
For beginners, there’s a new green run to the village, so it’s now easier and more attractive for beginners and cautious intermediates. There are nine free drag-lifts in La Tania and the surrounding areas: Troika in La Tania, Envolée in Courchevel 1330-Le Praz, Roys in Courchevel 1550, Cospillot, Bellecôte and Etoiles in Courchevel 1850 and Mickey, Belvedere/ Petite Bosse in Courchevel 1650. There are also four practice ‘Zen Zones’ (La Tania, Courchevel 1300-Le Praz, Courchevel 1850 and Courchevel 1650). A beginners’ area recently opened at the top of the gondola is served by a moving carpet.
LA TANIA INTERMEDIATES
For intermediates, there are long rolling runs through woods back to the village. On the higher slopes, you have a choice of three or four pistes. Both the red Lanches run and black Dou des Lanches piste are challenging. The 3 Valleys have extensive intermediate slopes with big lift networks.
LA TANIA EXPERTS
The runs above La Tania aren’t particularly challenging (although some of the black descents can be tough just because of their length). There’s good off-piste terrain beneath the Col de la Loze ridge – and of course, there’s plenty of expert terrain over in Courchevel.
Courchevel is due to be one of few resorts in France to be equipped with a new snow-groomer with electric transmission. This cutting-edge technology improves fuel consumption by 20-30% and removes all the uncertainties associated with transmission hydraulic circuits. How’s that for eco-friendly technology!
Things to do on the piste:
- Stop zone (Grandes Bosses piste, Courchevel 1650) – set off as fast as you can, see your speed displayed and find out whether you’re able to fully control your skis.
- Avalanche Camp (Courchevel 1850) – learn and practise essential techniques required in the event of an avalanche
- Zone Zen (La Tania) – A specially designed enclosed and safe area for beginners and children. Free Troika lift in the resort centre.
- Snowcross – banked bends with turns and whoopties. You set off four at a time.
- Family park (Courchevel 1850) – The snowpark is under the Verdons gondola - where you can also enjoy the Canyon fun area
- Red Indians piste (Courchevel 1650) - explore the Red Indians’ village (activities and games)
The nearest terrain park is in Courchevel.

To download the ski extras form, see 'Helpful links' further down the page.
Please note, these Pound Sterling prices are for indication only. They will fluctuate based on Euro/£ exchange rate. Please call us for the latest prices.
Other lift passes on offer (to buy locally in resort in Euros):
If you wish to book only half day or a day pass, or perhaps a few days consecutive or non-consecutive (Peak Retreats usually only pre-book 6+ days passes), then these can be bought in resort at the lift pass office, in €'s. This may suit those who only ski a few times during the week or who only want to ski the immediate local area rather than the full area (there are usually various lift passes on offer that cover different parts of the ski area). Each resort usually has a beginner's pass too which covers a small area in which to learn, which may be all you need for a few days as a beginner (some areas are even free). Prices can be found on the tourist office website if you need a guide.
Troïka and the carpet at the top of the gondola in La Tania are free lifts.
La Tania Ski School
Pre-book your La Tania ESF ski school with Peak Retreats. Find out more about Peak Retreats ski school.
Ski school for children is available to book from 3 years to 12 years, in La Tania, with Peak Retreats. 3-5 year olds will go into the Piou Piou lessons. Children can learn to snowboard from 8 years+.
For ski school times and prices, please download the ski extras form from the 'Helpful links' further down the page. Please note these are just guiding prices. Please call us for the latest prices.
Please note that lesson times are subject to change right until the last minute - you will be advised. Outside French school holidays the ski school reserves the right to cancel group lessons should numbers be insufficient. For peak periods - Christmas, New Year, February half-term and Easter - we strongly recommend that you book as early as possible and in any case at least 6 weeks prior to the required dates. Morning lessons tend to get booked up first and therefore we may only be able to offer afternoon classes within 6 weeks of departure. In some resorts English speaking instructors may not always be available, particularly at peak times.
We cannot always guarantee that prices will be cheaper than in resort. When ski packs prices are calculated, the currency is bought at the exchange rates that apply at the time. You can be assured that once you have booked your extras, if the pound depreciates, you will not be charged more for your ski packs, enabling you to budget for your holiday in advance.
La Tania private lessons (not pre-bookable, book direct):
Individual tuition can only be purchased directly from the ESF ski school. Peak Retreats cannot pre-book these. Private lessons usually start from 2 years old and have no maximum age.
How to book:
You can book online with ESF La Tania or contact them by phone on 00 33 479 08 80 39. It is advisable to book before you go and in good time as instructors get very busy, especially in Peak times.
Prices vary from resort to resort but are around €40-80 per 1 hour lesson for 1 or 2 people (the more people you have the cheaper it usually is so you can split the cost). Most resorts offer a choice of 1 hour, 1.5 hours or 2 hour lessons. These may be in the morning or afternoon and are usually at select times. If you only fancy just one private lesson, this is usually fine. Otherwise, you can book a course of private lessons over as many days (consecutive or non-consecutive) as you'd like. However, it is more cost-effective to book group lessons for the week (which we pre-book).
La Tania non-skiing childcare (not pre-bookable, book direct)
La Tanière des Croés - you will find it on the 2nd floor of the Granzeta building in La Tania. This building houses the kindergarten, medical centre, luggage room and showers.

Courchevel/La Tania Resort News and Events 2022/23
Events:
- Courchevel and Meribel will host the 2023 FIS Alpine World Ski Championships! This fantastic news means exciting new developments in the area, with a total of 42 million Euros being invested. The competition is an Alpine Ski competition and has six categories run by the FIS (Fédération Internationale de Ski), with many of the top competitors excelling in more than one discipline, they are Downhill, Super G, Giant Slalom, Slalom, Alpine Combined, Parallel Slalom. The competition will run from the 6th-19th of February 2023. Over 600 athletes from 75 countries take part in the competition. Pistes used will be the new Eclipse in Courchevel and the Roc De Fer in Meribel.
News:
- A new World Cup 2023 piste (named L’Eclipse - replacing some of the old black 'Jockeys' piste) has been constructed and is running from near the top of the Bouc Blanc chairlift down to Le Praz through the trees (set to be one of the most challenging, fastest and steepest (consistently steep, 30% gradient) race pistes in the World - 3.2km in length (so pretty long, if not longest black in 3 Valleys) and 944m vertical) and finishes on the roof of the new Alpinium building. It gives bird’s eye views over Courchevel le Praz and the Olympic ski jumps. Not for the faint-hearted!
- New beginners' area - Major work has taken place in La Tania with a whole new beginners area and the re-shaping and moving of the Folyeres piste as it comes into the resort to divert it around the first time skiers allowing them to learn the sport in a protected, safe environment, with new covered magic carpets/travelators (replacing the Troika draglift). The free beginners magic carpet at the top of the La Tania gondola has been moved to the right of the station
- New tunnel for Arolles piste/Foret lift traffic under the World Cup piste just above the La Tania gondola (so when competitions are on, it doesn't disturb normal skier traffic)
- Ski Lodge will be opening an outside bar for drinks and snacks
- New gondola - transports 10 skiers per bubble and takes under 6 minutes to travel from Le Praz to Courchevel 1850. So you'll now be able to travel between Le Praz - 1850 and 1550 - 1850 from 7.45 until 23.30 on the lifts!
- New restaurant - Bistro Machet (from Michelin Star chef Julien Machet of Le Farçon), formely Chrome bar
- New re-charge points for mobile phones will be available across Courchevel and Mottaret – you will leave your phone in a locker with a charging point while you do a few runs
- The Croisette building in 1850, which dates back to 1971, is being refurbished to allow easier access with escalators and make the building lighter and brighter to overlook the snowfront and provide a space for après-ski events
- New relaxation area on the slopes above Courchevel Moriond 1650 - a favourite picnic spot for years, the plateau at the top of Signal chair is now equipped with more picnic tables and wooden sun loungers. This is a perfect spot to chill out on the slopes, offering fabulous views over the spectacular Brêche de Portetta
- Giant photo frames - dotted around the ski area. You’ll find them on these summits: Signal (Courchevel), Col de la Loze, Roc de Fer, Mont Vallon (Méribel), Roc des 3 Marches (Les Menuires) and 3 Vallées Funitel (Val Thorens), XXL wooden bench at the top of Saulire
- The Stade area at bottom of the Stade race slope has had huge land works and re-profiling the slope plus a new 3,000 square metre clubhouse
- Aquamotion Restaurant – the restaurant accessible from the Aquamotion swimming pools is changing its name to 'Le Cellier Bis' with new decor and an updated menu. Also at Aquamoton the Ludiboo Club (for 3 to 6 year olds) allows parents a well-deserved break at the aqua wellness area or on the slopes whilst their little ones enjoy fun child-friendly supervised activities
- New reservoir between Méribel and Courchevel - there's a huge new water reservoir used for snowmaking in Courchevel above La Tania and Courchevel 1850. Installed in time for both the 2022 World Cup Finals and the 2023 World Championships which Méribel and Courchevel will co-host
