La Tania What's On Guide and Summer Events Diary
La Tania Video Sun Report 01 Aug 2020
36ºC in La Tania today (over 40ºC down the valley) - nice and cool in the evening though!
Pub Le Ski Lodge this week...
Here Comes The Summer!
Confirmation that the La Tania swimming pool will be open this Summer and the La Tania and Courchevel lifts for hikers & bikers will be FREE all Summer from 5 July until 28 August 2020.
Pub Le Ski Lodge opens on Friday 3rd July with the original Alpine Fish n Chips and the opening party with Live Music on Saturday 4th July. Looking like most of the Summer Fêtes will be taking place too with all the necessary hygiene and safety measures put in place.
Summer Life in La Tania - now updated with the latest events & information
Courchevel & La Tania Summer lift opening (with certain social distancing measures to be announced) will be from 5 July until 28 August - which is just about as would normally be expected - and all lifts will be free. This will also give the lift company the chance to test any special protection measures that may need to be implemented for next Winter.
More on Summer 2020 Lift Opening
Praz, Verdons and Saulire will be open plus the La Tania gondola. 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.
