3 Things You Need for a Glorious Ski Weekend in La Tania

With skiing and snow sports available year-round, there’s no better place for a weekend break than La Tania. Situated within the Les Trois Vallees (The Three Valleys) in the French Alps, this charming Alpine village is a haven for skiers looking for a weekend away from the grind of the rat race. Clear your head as you enjoy the beauty of nature, get your adrenaline pumping with high-octane sports, or pamper yourself in a luxurious spa before coming home to your charming ski chalet. La Tania is also a mere 15 minutes away by taxi from Courchevel and its bustling nightlife scene, in case the mood to dance the night away strikes.

Listed below are three things you need to have a glorious winter weekend - things you’ll find this popular resort takes pride in providing.

World-class Ski Amenities

Well, of course, to have a great ski weekend you’ll definitely need to get some skiing in, although no one would blame you for wanting to spend it snuggling inside your comfy ski chalet. La Tania, a resort that was originally developed for the 1992 Winter Olympics, is part of the Les Trois Vallees region, which includes over 2,500 hectares of slopes, from beginner to advanced, and provides nearly 600 kilometres of runs.

With 200 snow lifts, some of which will stop virtually outside your chalet, La Tania also has facilities for other snow sports, such as snowboarding, and sledding. Hiking, dog sledding, and tours of nearby Inuit villages are a few other activities.

Scrumptious Sustenance

Skiing is an activity that burns a lot of calories; it is physically demanding and the low temperatures will mean you have lots of energy to burn. Fortunately, upping your caloric intake is no struggle here! Firstly, before leaving for the slopes, be sure to have a delicious and hearty breakfast in your chalet. La Tania also has various cafes and pubs that serve breakfast and lunch, and they take advantage of locally sourced fresh produce to create scrumptious cuisine. Grab a pizza at The Bakery or a picnic lunch of sandwiches to share from the La Saucisse Savoyard. If you’re in the mood for some haute cuisine for dinner, head to the Michelin-starred Le Farcon for some of the best French food you'll ever taste.

Après Ski Rest and Relaxation

While staying in and enjoying the comfort is a great way to spend a winter evening, it would be a pity to miss all the excitement happening after hours just outside your chalet. La Tania has plenty of pubs and venues for drinking and socialising, such as Le Ski Lodge, which prides itself for serving the best beers in town, as well as rousing music from live bands.
