The La Tania resort is nestled in trees between Meribel and Courchevel with access to over 600km of downhill skiing, skiing is spread over 502 pistes served by 200 ski lifts. The Three Valleys skiing area is arguably the best skiing area in the world. Beginners are well catered for with gentle nursery slopes and a free lift situated right in the centre of the village.

Snowboarding in La Tania

Snowboarders won’t be disappointed in this snow paradise either. You won’t have to travel too far too far to spin some tricks as the Meribel or La Tania-Courchevel skiing area is home to an excellent boardpark for freestylers. There are also half pipes, steeps and drops scattered across the Three Valleys skiing area. Beware of the long flat over to Courchevel though as you might have to walk a little. If you fancy a decent long freeride then head to the tree-lined blue Folyeres, or the Morette Blanche red.
