Ski Chalets
in Courchevel la Tania -p1 |
The small purpose built ski resort of Courchevel la Tania lies in
the Three valleys just along the road from Courchevel 1300 on the way to
Meribel. It consists of a small number of apartment blocks and a small
village of well built modern chalets in the trees above. As it is in the
same valley as the Courchevel ski resorts the snow stays long into April
and has some very good trails cut through the trees which makes it ideal
for bad light skiing. It is a friendly little place - never crowded - and
great for families.
The vast three valley lift system is connected to the other six resorts
in two more valleys, Meribel,
Mottaret, Val Thorens,
Reberty, les Menuires and
St Martin de Belleville.
The skiing is some of the best in the world catering for every standard,
and the off piste can be exceptional. The snow stays longest on the
Courchevel side as the resorts face north and locally get the highest
snowfall, but at Val Thorens the Cime de Carron cable car goes to 3200m
(10400ft) where good snow is guaranteed all season. There is also some
good off piste glacier skiing to 3400m (11000ft).
There is a fourth valley with excellent skiing from the top of the Cime
de Carron down to a half way station. In mid season it is possible to ski
down to Orelle which links the Chambery-Albertville road with la Norma,
the Frejus tunnel and the Italian border fifteen miles away. The straight
distance from la Tania to Orelle is 25km (15miles) and can be skied in a
morning by intermediates, although the lift to the Cime de Carron can
sometimes be half an hour's wait in busy times.
All the resorts in the Three Valleys are serviced by snow cannons and
there is usually a skiable piste down to the low lying villages (le Praz,
la Tania and St Martin de Belleville) until mid April, when the flowers
are starting to come out and it is definitely shorts and shirtsleeve
skiing.
The French Railways ski train from Waterloo (UK) runs to Moutiers (20
minutes drive up the mountain) every Friday night - arriving Moutiers
around 0800. With the return train leaving on Saturday evenings this
gives a full seven days skiing in all the Three Valley ski areas.
