 Poster: A snowHead
|
Hi Guys,
i'm off to La Tania on Sunday, we'll get into resort about 1.30/2pm so im hoping to get a hour or two in on Sunday afternoon. We have full 6 day passes, will the pass work on Sunday afternoon? or do I have to buy a 3 hour pass for £40?

i'm sure you'll have to buy a pass but is it really £40? there is usually a discount for PM only.
And you could buy a La Tania or Courchevel only pass for the afternoon.

Well, the person's real but it's just a made up name, see?

Yeah I'd imagine if you use your 6 days pass on the Sunday pm it will validate it so you will run out on Friday.
If we have an hour or two in Courchevel on the day before our first full day of skiing in Courchevel, we tend to just use the free long Bellecote drag in 1850, as you get a decent length (albeit flatish) run past the CourchNeige. Spend an hour or so doing a couple of laps of that to help the kids get their ski legs back, then we ski down to the blue to 1550 either going via 1850 or via Cospillot from the bottom of Pralong. We normally stay in 1550 so can get the free shuttle bus up to 1850 then ski back down, so no pass required. Makes for a nice free warm up afternoon. Admittedly from La Tania it'd be a bit more faffy you'd have to bus to 1850 then bus it back from 1550 or Le Praz. Also Bellecote drag was closed due to lack of snow last week (even though the piste was open). If there is dump of snow and they open the red from 1850 Planterey down past Brigues to Le Praz (again it was closed last week) you could ski that back for free and bus it home from Le Praz to La tania without buying a pass that day. Failing that you'll have to spend 43 euros per head for the afternoon pass.
Might be worth checking if the mini pass still exists. Used to be half the price (ish) of the full courchevel area pass and I think the la tania one allowed use of the la tania gonodola. Maybe ask on the latania.co.uk facebook page or contact the courchevel /la tania tourist office.

La Tania used to do a ticket I think just for the gondola @ €20ish. For that you get the red and the excellent folyeres run. Could easily kill a couple of hours there to get some muscle memory back in the ski/board legs. If they still do it...

http://www.latania.co.uk/skiing/passes.htm has all of the info you need.
The La Tania Mini-Pass to use the La Tania gondola is available for €23.80 a day.
A once only trip up the Gondola can be purchased for €10 (or €16 up Dou Des Lanches too)
Afternoon Courcheval is €43
1 Day Courchevel is €51
La Tania Mini-Pass - €23.80/day for all ages - The La Tania Mini-Pass for beginners gives access to the La Tania Gondola (the La Troika drag lift and the magic carpet and the top of the gondola are free).
Note that the following drag lifts are free anyway... Troïka in La Tania, plus Envolée, Mickey, Belvédère, Petite Bosse, Roys, Bellecôte, Etoiles, Cospillot) and the 4 Practice ZEN zones.
There is also a Saturday-only pass which is discounted to €48 for the whole 3 valleys, so if you did use your pass on the first Sunday, it would run out on the Friday and you could get the discounted pass for the following Saturday. Probably not the best use of your money though. It can only be bought online.
