Created in 1988 for the Albertville Winter Olympics, this intimate village maintains an authentic Alpine atmosphere with traditional chalet-style architecture. The resort offers a perfect blend of modern amenities and mountain charm, making it an ideal destination for families and ski enthusiasts alike. La Tania is situated in the prestigious Trois Vallees ski area, the world’s largest ski domain, providing access to over 600 kilometers of pristine slopes. The resort is linked to Courchevel Le Praz and offers direct access to Val Thorens.
Founded in the 1930s by British Colonel Peter Lindsay, Méribel has evolved into one of Europe’s most prestigious ski resorts. The resort’s unique character stems from its commitment to preserving traditional alpine architecture – every building follows strict guidelines requiring natural materials like wood and stone, creating a cohesive and charming mountain environment.
The village centers around the main hub of Méribel Centre, where luxury boutiques, gourmet restaurants, and cozy bars line the slopes. Above lies Méribel Mottaret, offering true ski-in, ski-out convenience, while the historic village of Les Allues below provides authentic French mountain culture and more affordable accommodation options.
Located in the Savoie department of the Auvergne-Rhône-Alpes region, France, La Tania sits at coordinates 45.5167°N, 6.6167°E within the Tarentaise Valley. The resort is positioned between the renowned destinations of Courchevel and Méribel, benefiting from its strategic location in the Trois Vallees network. Major nearby cities include Geneva (130km), Lyon (180km), and Grenoble (150km), making it easy to reach from multiple international airports.
The strategic location places Méribel approximately 180 kilometers from Geneva, 150 kilometers from Lyon, and 110 kilometers from Grenoble. This central positioning within the Alpine arc makes it easily accessible from multiple international airports while maintaining its secluded mountain atmosphere.
The resort’s elevation ranges from 1,450 meters in the main village to 3,230 meters at the highest accessible point, providing exceptional snow conditions and breathtaking panoramic views across the French, Swiss, and Italian Alps.

From there, visitors take the D915 and then the D90 to reach La Tania after crossing the border between Switzerland and France.

However, airport transfers remain the most convenient option for international travelers, eliminating the need for multiple connections and luggage transfers.
