There is a free ski bus service (a ski pass no longer required since 2006) between La Tania and Courchevel. It runs via Le Praz, 1550 (Village), 1650 (Moriond) and finally 1850. A pedestrian pass is available to include the gondola / cable car lifts for €21 per day or 6 days for €63 (2013 prices).

 

The service runs from the main road behind the Montana Hotel (access can be gained via a public lift to the left of the hotel entrance). The first bus leaves La Tania at 09:10 and the last bus leaves Courchevel at 23:40. The service runs every hour except for a gap during the evening - see below.

 

An alternative way to Courchevel 1850 is to get off the bus at Le Praz (5 minutes on the bus or a 20 minute walk) and take the Praz Gondola straight in to 1850 - the first gondola is at 9am and takes around 15 mins. Earlier buses run from Le Praz to Courchevel at 07:05, 07:25, 08:05, 08:20 and 08:35 and take around 25 mins. Journey time from La Tania to Courchevel 1850 is around 30 minutes.
 
Note there is also a limited La Tania to Meribel service in the peak holiday weeks - see below.
