Summer Opening - Latest Info

Update 26 May:

Summer 2020 Lift Opening Dates and Prices confirmed - Summer Life in La Tania now updated

New Lift for Winter 2020/2021 Confirmed

Update 20 May:

S3V have announced Courchevel & La Tania Summer lift opening (with certain social distancing measures to be announced) from 5 July until 28 August - which is just about as would normally be expected. This will also give the lift company the chance to test any special protection measures that may need to be implemented for next Winter.

We understand that Praz, Verdons and Saulire will be open plus the La Tania gondola (which will be a free lift). A real shame that Plantrey, like last year (or Chenus in previous years) doesn't open as it's a good link back to La Tania for hikers and bikers. It's also a fairly easy ride to Cold de la Loze for Méribel on the tarmac track plus there are decent mountain bike tracks down to the Bouc Blanc and 1850 - suppose they've got to justify the fortune spent on Le Praz, but the buses do that route anyway. Plantrey is of course a chairlift and open to the air unlike the others too!

No confirmation of any Tour de France lift opening around 16 September - which would seem a massive missed opportunity if it goes ahead as planned but obviously an social distancing requirements will be an issue with the crowds involved.

France is still awaiting an announcement on when restaurants and bars will be allowed to start limited opening – perhaps starting with social distancing on outdoor terraces with table service for example.

S3V have also announced a welcome policy change on lift pass refunds. From this Winter lift passes will now be refundable up to the day before use and passes from 2-21 days will be reimbursed pro rata in the event of the ski area closing.

From 28 April:

The French government announced that all organised sporting events, including those behind closed doors are banned until September (so the Summer Ski Jumping World Cup in Le Praz is definitely cancelled). he

Tour de France is now planned for a 16 September stage finish above La Tania but with a start date of 29 August so there could still be further changes. The football Ligue 1 and Ligue 2 seasons have been ended.

Kindergartens and elementary schools will gradually reopen from 11 May with middle schools to follow around a week later alongside shops and markets - but not bars and restaurants.

The French prime minister says that from 11 May it will no longer be necessary to fill in forms to go outside, expect from trips of more than 100km. Gatherings of more than 10 people indoors or outdoors will remain banned, while over 65s have been urged to remain cautious when going out.

A decision at the end of May will be taken to see if bars & restaurants can open after 2 June. Beaches, meanwhile, will remain shut until at least 1 June.
