Ski Club Holiday to La Tania, France

Tour Operator: Crystal

Resort report: We last visited La Tania in 2005 and we have reports on that trip by Jeremy Waterhouse and Ernie Metcalfe.

Resort information from the Crystal web site:

A good-value pick in the Three Valleys, La Tania’s a quiet resort with local slopes geared towards beginners. It’s easy to get on the slopes too, as the accommodation here’s ski-in, ski-out on a gentle green run. For more challenging runs take the gondola to the top and head to Courchevel or Meribel just next-door, or further afield to Val Thorens.

When the lifts shut for the day, you can swap your skis for skates with an indoor ice skating session or strike out on the bowling lane. Looking for something livelier? Head to one of the local bars to sip on your favourite drink and listen to some live music.
