1. Holidays in the heart of the world's largest ski area...
With the La Tania cable car, you'll be on your way to the world's largest ski playground in the blink of an eye! The 3 Vallées are :
- 600km of pistes and 1500 hectares of skiing!
- 5 months of guaranteed skiing, from early December to late April.

For the little ones, play Cowboys and Indians at the Western Ski Park in Courchevel or go in search of Yooni the Yeti at the Yeti Park in Mottaret. For the more adventurous, try tobogganing, ice diving at Lac du Lou or one of the zip lines at Orelle or Val Thorens! The best skiers, meanwhile, can take to the 37° slopes of the Vertical Xperience piste at Méribel or explore the most beautiful off-piste runs in the company of local instructors or guides, while less experienced skiers can slowly build up their confidence along the green and blue pistes, which make up 50% of the resort.
In short, 100% fun and adventure for young and old, whatever their level!
2. ... While enjoying a family resort!
La Tania is a small resort with all the makings of a big one. Its charm: entirely pedestrianised, your flat is close to everything!
Ski in, ski out, the shops are at the heart of the resort. With just 3,500 tourist beds, it's easy to meet new people and feel right at home. La Tania has been awarded the ‘Station Verte’ label and blends harmoniously into its environment. Made up entirely of wooded buildings and authentic Savoyard chalets, surrounded by a majestic spruce forest, the magic happens as soon as the first snowflakes fall and everything is covered in white. Despite its location right 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 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 skills during your holidays!
4. Mini-prices for a maxi domain!
At La Tania, Agence Saulire offers flat rentals in the Le Grand Bois residence. A large residence with recently renovated flats, in the centre of the resort, at very low prices: from €598 for a 4-person flat!
And if you're coming outside the school holidays, take advantage of discounts of up to 20% on 3 Vallées ski passes!
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 shores 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 for families and friends!
To discover the mountains in a different way, cross-country skiing is a complete sports activity. 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 put on a host of events:
- 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... 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 ahot 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 International Festival of Pyrotechnic Art. An incredible light and sound show not to be missed!
Not forgetting the usual Christmas entertainment and New Year festivities...
8. ... And delicious!
Can you really talk about a mountain holiday without mentioning fondues, raclettes and other Savoyard specialities? There's no shortage of catering options, and all of them will delight your taste buds with the specialities of 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. Breathtaking views.
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.
