On the slopes
Ski La Tania and as you have read, you're in the heart of the awesome Trois Vallees ski area. Ski holidays in La Tania benefit from possibly the world's greatest skiing and snowboarding area. That means there is something for everyone, and no chance of getting bored! Near the village there are nursery slopes for beginners and some great tree-lined runs that even advanced skiers will like.
Boarders will find the area around the resort a great place to learn, while more accomplished snowboarders will enjoy the vast range of piste and off-piste challenges. Black runs include steep, mogul covered Jockeys or Jean Blanc and you also have the, usually empty, off piste beneath Le Signal.

Off the slopes
The ski resort of La Tania has a real village atmosphere (despite it being purpose built), with a wide range of accommodation - everything from apartments, to hotels and luxury chalets. There are several restaurants in the village offering reasonably priced food - alternatively try the Telemark and Montana hotels, or La Farcon for something more special. Away from the slopes there is plenty to keep you busy including ice hockey, skating, snowshoeing, bowling, climbing and karting. There's also heli-skiing that will fly you just over the border to Italy. If you time your holiday right, you might get to see Ski Jumping at Le Praz too.
WE LIKE
- For a prupose-built resort, it's intimate, friendly and cheaper than other bigger local resorts
- Long, rolling, intermediate runs through woods back to the village
- Beginner and Intermediate runs close to village, also great for ski-in ski-out after long day in the ski area
|
WE DON'T LIKE
- Early or late skiing here is hit and miss due to altitude - but other resorts locally are higher up
- Main nursery slope is part of the blue run to the village, and gets a lot of through-traffic
- Some accommodation is a long walk from the centre and the main lifts
