A Ski Weekend in La Tania

In a perfect world, a winter holiday in the French Alps would at least be a full week or two. But as our modern life often gets in the way, we have no choice but to adjust. Often, if the destination is good enough, even the chance to at least get away for the weekend is enough for a sneaky ski break. When it comes to renting a convenient ski chalet, La Tania’s facilities and pistes can be just outside the door – meaning that you waste no time with time-consuming travel to and from the slopes. Here are some other tips to planning the perfect short ski break in this delightful resort.

Book Accommodation Online

There are, of course, a good number of hotels in the resort, but if you want a true ‘home away from home’ experience, stay in a ski chalet. La Tania is home to dozens of these well-appointed accommodations that will make you feel right at home. Most reputable companies will have an online presence, with all the information you need available at a glance, including rates and features. What’s more, the resort also allows visitors to book ski passes online, so you won’t have to spend time waiting to purchase passes at the resort.

The Benefits of Booking Early

If you’re gunning for a holiday during the peak season, you’ll have to book months in advance—and that’s true even for a brief weekend get-away. Most travel or booking agents offer the opportunity to book several months to a year in advance—perhaps even longer than that. This is so because it is good business for agents to make sure the resort is fully booked as far ahead of the schedule as possible—especially when you consider that most bookings are non-refundable. Moreover, while you may think you would have a better chance of getting good deals during the low season, in truth, there’s practically no ‘low season’ here – due to the resort's popularity. When it comes to booking a ski chalet, La Tania certainly holds a favoured place in the hearts and minds of many winter sports enthusiasts year after year.

Don’t Sweat the Details

By booking a catered or self catered ski chalet, La Tania becomes one of the most low hassle resorts in the Alps. As well as quick and easy ski transfers from a choice of surrounding airports, once you're in resort, everything is conveniently located and at hand. Along with the aforementioned opportunities to ski right from your door, it means you won't waste valuable time transferring, travelling, lining up for lifts and generally wasting precious holiday time.
