Winter 2011 Coming Up - The What's New Page Starts here...

La Tania Building Work
Update on the building work - the new Public Building will have a Medical centre with Ambulance access, a new creche opening in Feb 2011, a left baggage hold, a police municipal office, public toilets, community room for animations etc & 4 or 5 apts for the communal seasonal staff and 15 covered parking spaces. The piste area at the front will all be sorted before the opening of the Winter season - no need for anyone to worry!

 

On the Piste - S3V Lift Company work this Summer

Courchevel Valley:
• Extension of the snow making network with the installation of 20 snow cannons on the Plan Fontaine green run (La Tania). This will ensure that skiers of all levels can return to La Tania on skis all season long. This new investment brings the total number of snow cannons to 637 in the Courchevel Valley, covering 44% of the skiing area.
• Improvements to the Family Park modules to make them even more attractive and fun.
• Redevelopment of the Emile Allais slalom course ready for the Women’s World Cup event that will take place on the 21st December 2010.
Méribel-Mottaret:
• Improvements to the Plattières Snowpark to maximise its accessibility to all.
• Installation of 400 metres of snow fences (on the the Campagnol and Venturon pistes). This is an ecological way of accumulating snow on the pistes, thanks to the wind. Snow fences have been used successfully for many years in Méribel-Mottaret.
• Improvements made to the middle section of the Lac de la Chambre piste (coming back from Val Thorens) making it more enjoyable to ski.
• Redevelopment of the Doron ZEN (area in the heart of the resort dedicated to beginners learning to ski) to make it less steep and therefore more fun for first timers.
• Modernisation of the Côte Brune detachable chairlift (Direct link to Val Thorens and access to the high altitude skiing in Méribel-Mottaret) increasing by 15% the uplift capacity of this chairlift (capacity of 2400 skiers / hour to cope with its success) and by refurbishing the lift buildings top and bottom.

 

Lots more to come including: more building work, hotels, restaurants, the returning staff, new businesses, new oterraces, new apartment owners, more on mountain work and which bands will be playing this Winter plus details of the La Tania 20th Anniversary Celebrations. The new La Tania Brochure for Winter 2011 is here (4.5mb pdf)
