As you would generally expect of a relatively modern development, La Tania ski resort is also an environmentally friendly centre.
The purpose-built resort is very young in Alpine skiing terms, and was first used to house journalists and ice hockey players attending the 1992 Winter Olympics in Albertville. It has since built a reputation as one of the most intimate (there are only 4,000 guest beds), affordable and relaxed resorts in the Trois Vallées (Three Valleys).
From the time the resort was conceived, all the ecological and environmental aspects have been integrated into its design. La Tania's local power is supplied by hydro-electric energy, as are the lifts, snowmakers and trail groomers of the Trois Vallées.
The resort's buildings are of a traditional style, integrated into the local architecture of the Savoyard villages. All the buildings are wood covered, in the style of the local La Perrière community, a group of 10 small, traditional Savoyard hamlets below the resort.
La Tania is located in the Courchevel Valley between Méribel and Courchevel in the Trois Vallées. The resort is situated in the French Alpine region of Savoie, in the southeast of the country, close to the Italian and Swiss borders.
