Are you looking for flexibility?
Need a budget, quality place to stay where you can pay by the day? The perfect flexibility. No snow no go! Stay in our Flexi accommodation in La Tania, the 3 Valleys and stay as long as you like.

La Tania is a purpose built ski resort originally built for the 1992 Winter Olympics. Nestled on the mountainside in between Courchevel and Meribel it's a great base to explore the 3 Valleys.

Still retaining a village like atmosphere but linking in to the massive 3 Valleys ski area.

There's a real community feeling in La Tania and it's still small enough for everyone to know everyone. Often called a small friendly resort - however there's a lot more to it and the nightlife can kick off.

It is traffic free and has great facilities for all levels. We have 4 ski hire shops, a tourist office, post office, bakery, tabac, newsagent, supermarket, 4 bars and 6 restaurants (with 4 mountain restaurants above the resort).

A free ski bus runs about every hour to Le Praz, Courchevel 1550, 1650 and finally 1850 (takes about 30 mins to 1850). This runs all day until around 10pm at night. There is currently no bus service to Meribel Village (where the free ski bus goes to and around Meribel) although taxis and lifts are easy to come by - the journey time to Meribel Village is only around 5 minutes with clear roads.

The skiing links in to the massive 3 Valleys system - you're 2 lifts away from either Meribel or Courchevel 1850. There are 2 runs down into the resort, a roller coaster blue through the forest and a wide red run with a consistent gradient down to the gondola. The blue run could suffer from poor snow/icy conditions at the beginning and end of season but this is now helped by 38 new snow cannons which were installed for the 2001/2 season along the entire length of the run. There's a free drag lift and a short run for absolute beginners in the heart of the resort. For intermediate skiers, a day's skiing / riding to Val Thorens is a must - only 4 (or 6) lifts away.
