About La Tania

What La Tania is like

La Tania is the youngest resort in the massive Les Trois Vallées ski area, originally built to house athletes for the 1992 Albertville Winter Olympics. Nestled at 1,400 metres among beautiful spruce forests, it offers a more tranquil and budget-friendly alternative to its glamorous neighbour, Courchevel. The resort is famously fully pedestrianised, making it incredibly safe and appealing for families.
