2. ... Enjoying family-friendly resort

La Tania, is a small resort with all the amenities of a big one. Its charm : completely pedestrianised, your apartment is close to everything!

The shops are in the resort's centre. With only 3,500 tourist beds, it's easy to meet new people and feel at home. Awarded the "Station Verte" label, La Tania blends harmoniously into its surroundings. Made up entirely of wooded buildings and authentic Savoyard chalets, surrounded by a majestic spruce forest, the magic begins as soon as the first snowflakes fall and everything is covered in white. Despite its location next to the great Courchevel and not far from the elegant Méribel, La Tania has managed to retain its human scale and simplicity.

 

 

3. SKIing for all levels and all ages

Experienced skiers will appreciate the direct access to the 3 Vallées via a single gondola which takes you straight to the heart of the resort. Beginners will not be outdone. La Tania has three slopes leading to the heart of the village. Make your first parallel turns on the green slope at Plan Fontaine, then when you feel more comfortable, the blue slope at Folyères awaits you before joining the 3 Vallées adventure. There are 3 ski schools in La Tania: ESF, New Génération and Oxygène. Don't hesitate to contact them if you want to improve your skiing during your holidays!

5. THE EXPERIENCE OF FRANCE'S BIGGEST RESORTS JUST A FEW MINUTES AWAY.

Treat yourself to a wellness break at the Aquamotion spa or stroll along the banks of Lac de la Rosière with its hypnotic blue waters. 

If you don't mind taking the car, Méribel l'élégante is just a 15-minute drive away. You can take a stroll around Lac de Tueda or discover the beauty of the valley's stone and wood chalets. And why not let yourself be tempted by a panoramic flight over the 3 Valleys from the Altiport...

 

6. GET YOUR FILL OF ADVENTURE AT la TANIA.

This proximity to the major resorts also means a wide choice of activities to enjoy with family and friends!

Cross-country skiing is a great way to discover the mountains in a different way. A track runs directly from La Tania to the large Méribel/Courchevel cross-country skiing area. If skiing isn't your thing, there are plenty of marked hiking and snowshoeing trails. Discover the natural and heritage treasures of the Saint Bon valley.

For an action-packed holiday, you can take to the skies in a paraglider or hot-air balloon, admire the sunset on a snowmobile, let yourself be pulled by sled dogs, pilot a snow groomer, go ice climbing and many other activities...

 

7. a lively resort

What could be better after a great day's skiing than to take advantage of the lively atmosphere in the resort and the enchantment of a snow holiday?

La Tania is always bustling with activity, and the Tourist Office and ski schools offer a wide range of activities:

Yooner Trophy for the more adventurous: compete in a Yooner race and discover new thrills on the slopes. One seat, one ski, your hands and feet to guide you... There's no need to learn to become the king of the Yooner and overtake all your friends in a crazy race!

• Maple taffy or marshmallow party for those with a sweet tooth: melt your marshmallows around a log fire after a great day's skiing, or try the Quebec speciality made with maple syrup and create your own lollipop on a bed of snow!
• Enjoy a hot aperitif around a table suspended in the heart of the forest!
• Every week, admire the ESF shows and see your ski instructors at their best.
• Once a winter, La Tania also plays host to one of the fireworks displays at the Festival International d'art Pyrotechnique. An incredible light and sound show not to be missed!
• Not forgetting the usual Christmas entertainment and New Year festivities...

 

8. ... and tasty !

Can you really talk about a mountain holiday without talking about fondues, raclettes and other Savoyard specialities ? There's no shortage of restaurants to choose from, and all of them will delight your taste buds with specialities from our valleys.

For traditional dishes, you can count on the restaurants Le Marmottons and La Ferme de la Tania, and for a good meal at altitude, head to Le Bouc Blanc!

But the restaurant not to be missed at La Tania is Le Farçon! Chef Julien Machet's 1* restaurant will help you (re)discover the region's produce with a surprise menu of the finest dishes at very affordable prices.

You'll also have the chance to discover the Bistrot Machet, a small, unpretentious, warm, accessible and family-friendly establishment, just like the Michelin-starred chef.

There are also some original addresses such as "Les Chanterelles" with Japanese dishes, for a lighter option than the traditional cheese specialities!

9. a breathtaking view

Perched high above the Tarentaise valley, you'll have a lovely view of Mont Jovet, the Grand Bec and the Dent du Villard and the whole Tarentaise valley! Book your flat with a view of the mountains: the Grand Bois residence faces east, so you can enjoy the Grand Bec from sunrise to sunset.
