From the main gondola out of the village, you can choose to either drop towards Courchevel via Chenus or over the Col de la Loze towards Méribel. Of course the whole Three Valleys has terrain for everyone, but the local La Tania slopes are good for learning, being fairly gentle and nicely tree-lined, which definitely helps in bad weather. Snow reliability has improved thanks to snowmaking, but beware La Tania is one of the lowest bases in the region.
The resort was built for the 1992 Winter Olympics, but although it is purpose- built French resort its wood-clad buildings sit comfortably in a pretty woodland setting and it definitely is nowhere near as bleak looking as some other resorts in the area. Off the slopes, there’s not a huge amount to do – you’ll need to head further up to the larger resorts for the swimming pools, ice rinks, toboggan tracks and cross country trails.

The New Year dawns bright, dry and sunny as high pressure remains over much of Europe during this time. This changes rapidly as the weekend begins, with large flows of low pressure and cold air moving in from the East. This will bring excellent snow totals to much of the French Alps.
Snow will begin on Friday with around 20cm down. This will then increase to up to 1m down over higher ground, snow continuing into Sunday with another 15cm forecast. The freezing line will rise to around 2,000m throughout this period however snowfall is expected to reach lower down the hill too.
This snow will fall on a persistent weak layer and layers of facets within the snowpack that have already triggered avalanches over the festive period. Expect the avalanche warning to rise greatly in the coming days, and the snowpack to take a long time to settle – plan all back country travel and check your local avalanche forecast before heading out.
Snowfall is expected to continue in the new week after a brief flurry of sunshine on Monday, with temperatures plummeting as the freezing line hits below sea level.
