La Tania

La Tania is a ski resort situated in the Courchevel area of Les Trois Vallees, located at an elevation of 1400 meters. It was developed for the Albertville Olympics of 1992 and is approximately a 25-minute drive from Moûtiers.

Overview

The ski resort is situated in proximity to various hotels, residential buildings, and a small town.

The village is accessible via a 12-person gondola that connects to two high-speed chairs (Dou des Launches and Bouc Blanc), allowing skiers to access both the Courchevel and Meribel ski areas. A pair of drag lifts connects the Courchevel side of the mountain to the nearby village. La Tania is affiliated with ski schools like École du ski Français, Supreme Ski and Snowboard School, Magic In Motion, New Generation, Ultimate Snowsports, Cab9, Momentum Ski, and Ski Class.

From the top of the gondola, three pistes wind down through the forest into the village, designated as red, blue, and green. The blue and green pistes are equipped with snow cannons for year-round accessibility. La Tania also offers a free beginners drag lift known as Troika.

The northeast-facing slopes of La Tania often preserve powder conditions for several days, especially in the Gazex couloirs off the Col de la Loze, referred to as Gazex 1, 2, and 3. Pub Le Ski Lodge serves as a central gathering place. The local community website, maintained by Toffa, provides updates on community activities and events.
