Built in 1992 to house press for the Winter Olympics, La Tania was initially comprised of wooden-clad apartment blocks that were more practical than aesthetic. Chosen for its incredible skiing location and access to Courchevel, it has since developed into a recognised option for your next ski holiday.
Today La Tania is especially known for sought-after ski-in/ski-out properties and an expanding collection of good-value luxury ski chalets.
Thanks to the resort being built surrounding the pistes winding through the trees into the village, our portfolio of luxury chalets in La Tania all offer enviable ski access. Nevertheless, many properties like Chalet Peppa and Ours des Montagnes also provide driver services for added convenience.
Your chauffeur can also take you to nearby Courchevel Le Praz, just a five-minute drive away, which has direct lift access to Courchevel 1850. This is ideal for getting a head start on skiing from Courchevel 1850 or, if non-skiers who want to explore its designer shops and high-end eateries.
As of 2018, La Tania was named the fifth Courchevel village rather than being its own stand-alone entity. This reflects its evolution into a luxury ski resort with the skiing, amenities and, of course, the luxury properties to match.
Being a lesser-known and low-key resort, La Tania also offers more affordable chalet options for those travelling on a smaller budget. Its restaurants, bars and shops are also less expensive than those in Courchevel 1850, despite being a short distance away.
La Tania sits in the forest between Courchevel Le Praz and Méribel Village. As a result, the pistes in and around La Tania are beautiful, tree-lined runs. At 1,350m in altitude and with a North-facing aspect, La Tania is slightly cooler than Méribel and Courchevel, which helps hold the snow especially later into the season.
Leading into the centre of La Tania there’s a green, blue and red piste. This really encapsulates how great La Tania is for skiers of every ability. Further up the mountain, there’s a wider range of blue, red and black runs, as well as links to Courchevel and Méribel, in just two lifts, on blue runs.
We might be experienced, passionate skiers, but the green Plan Fontaine in La Tania remains our favourite in the area. It’s a gentle, winding, tree-lined piste with occasional glimpses of valley views through the forest. Since it’s not a common run for those staying elsewhere on luxury ski holidays in the Three Valleys, it remains underused and in great condition all season.
La Tania is also an excellent destination for advanced skiers with incredibly easy access to the wider Three Valleys network, which offers 119 red and 33 black runs.
Within La Tania itself, there’s good off-piste found under the Dou des Launches chair or there’s the mythical ‘Narnia’, which is the off-piste through the forest around La Tania and Courchevel Le Praz. Powder bunnies can lap this area without repeating the same line.
On and off-piste, the forest cover makes La Tania a particularly good spot in poorer weather, where there’s still good visibility among the trees.
For a different mountain experience, head to the large paragliding area at the top of the Dou des Launches lift above La Tania. Although it may sound daunting, it is a peaceful and memorable way to take in the scenery.
La Tania is a smaller resort, but it has a couple of bars for a post-ski drink. La Taiga has a lovely terrace that is particularly appealing in the afternoon sun during March and April. Pub Le Ski Lodge is the liveliest spot with seasonnaires and holidaymakers enjoying the casual pub lunches, daily happy hour (two hours), quiz nights and live music.
For a more upscale time, Courchevel 1850’s Bagatelle is found at the top of the Chenus lift. From here, it’s possible to ski directly into La Tania without any lifts. Therefore, it’s a great choice for a long lunch and afternoon drinks.
Where to eat in La Tania?
Most luxury chalets in La Tania offer a catered service, with private dining provided by an in-house chef and host, usually on 5 evenings per week.
On the staff’s night off, try the fine-dining experience at La Farçon, in the centre of La Tania, which holds a Michelin star and serves creative Savoyard cuisine with modern seasonal influences.
Chef Julian Machet also runs Bistrot Machet, a more relaxed high-altitude option that is ideal for lunch.
On the snow front, there’s a range of local pizzerias, crêperies and Savoyard restaurants making the perfect place to stop off after ski school for a snack or family lunch.
La Tania also has easy access, especially on skis, to Courchevel and Méribel. So on a luxury self-catered holiday to La Tania, we recommend exploring the fantastic mountain restaurants for a lunch stop.
Is La Tania family-friendly?
La Tania is a great pick for a family ski holiday. On the main snow front, there’s a well-sized beginner’s area that is separated from the main piste. Plus, there are a couple of magic carpets for those just starting out.
The infrastructure is incredibly well-suited for learning to ski and growing in confidence and there are several excellent ski schools in the area.
Since La Tania is a purpose-built resort, its shops, bars, restaurants, ski schools and accommodation – such as properties like Yellowstone Lodge 1 – are all designed around the snow front. The main high street and centre in La Tania is pedestrianised, making for a friendly atmosphere too. This makes it especially convenient for parents looking for an easy, stress-free family ski holiday.
La Tania’s ski season runs from mid-December to mid-April, with the most popular time to visit being the festive period and February Half Term. It is primarily a winter destination; therefore, add it to the list for your next luxury ski trip.
If you are looking for a summer mountain holiday instead, we would be happy to help find the perfect place for you.
Although it was built in 1992 for the Winter Olympics, the low-rise, wooden-clad chalets and modest apartments give the village some alpine charm. Being small, there is a friendly and...
