La Tania

Courchevel has the reputation of being the world’s best ski resort and is undoubtedly the chicest in France.  The resort is split into four quite separate villages at different altitudes and between them they offer something for everyone.  They are brilliantly linked both to each other and to the whole of the Trois Vallees area, which includes the resorts of Val Thorens and Meribel.  The scenery here is beautiful and the pistes are immaculate.

The skiing is truly outstanding and on an incredible scale with over 600km of piste in the Trois Vallees area.  From 1850 the pistes and gondolas spread out in all directions providing lots of picturesque, gentle skiing for beginners or those who just want to take it easy.  For a more vertical challenge experts can head up to the highest point Souliere with the infamous Couloirs.  Only the grand couloir remains a marked piste, but it is something of a rite of passage for all good skiers and is much trickier than it looks. 

La Tania is attractively situated in the heart of a pine forest.  Although it is more closely linked with Courchevel, it is also very convienent for Meribel and the rest of the Trois Vallees area.  As with all the resorts in this part of the Alps, La Tania suits skiers of every ability.  It is popular with families due to its more quiet nightlife and the fact that it has its own dedicated learning area.  Budget-wise almost everything is much less pricy than the opulent 1850, but there are still some good restaurants and pleasant accomodation.
