Hi there,
Going to La Tania for the first time this year having previously ski'd in Chamonix.
Just wondered what the resoort is like. Looking for recommendations for: Good ski schools/intructors, night life, and good places to eat!

We went to La Tania last year. It's quite a small resort, therefore night life is some what limited. Where are you staying?
I had the best steak ever in a restaurant just off the nursary slope. I've just looked at an interactive map to try to work out the name and think it is Les Marmottons, but it is the one furthest up that row.
Skiing however is endless being linked to Three Valleys. Our 7 year old daughter came with us therefore we went for the local lift pass which covers Couchevel and La Tania.
What level of skiing/Boarding are you? as this could influence whether it is work getting a full area pass.
If you are up to easy reds, then I would definately go to try chapelets which is the furthest run to the left of a piste map. Its was very quiet and what I would imagine helli skiing to be like.

The airport over in Courchevel is spectacular, but be careful of the price of the restaurtant over looking it. Also we were slightly shocked by a jump on the run which goes around just below the airport.
The blue Indiens run has a couple of Indian tepee half way down with information of why they are there.
There are only 2 main runs back to La Tania of which the red is often closed. The blue can get quite icy.
We have previously been to Les Menuires and therefore skied other areas of the 3 valleys.
Hope this gives you some idea, but feel free to ask anything more specific.
