Poster: A snowHead
|
I am on the verge of joining a group to 3V (La Tania) for early February, but heard that most experts (perhaps wrongly) predict subpar conditions for this winter. I have never been there, so can anyone advice if one could still get a decent skiing (e.g. on higher slopes) even if the weather is warmish (and I understand that there are no guarantees -- waterski only if it is +10 and raining).
Other advice (destination/time/groups/resources for solo traveler) is also much appreciated (traveling from the US, so can only manage one week in Alps this season)!

Obviously A snowHead isn't a real person

It's far too early to tell.

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

A friend of mine got back on Saturday and said that despite snowmaking it was quite icy just above the resort, but that the snow higher up was very good. The 3V piste maintainance is top notch - think Vail, so they do make the very best of what they have, and the area is so big there is always good snow to be found. I wouldn't cross the atlantic to stay in La Tania though - its a bit small and quiet with no intrinsic charm. How about St Martin de Belleville or Courcheval 1300, unless you do want ski in ski out slopeside accommodation.

Martin,
Thank you for the info! The main argument for La Tania is that I found a group that I can join. -- Alex

Anyway, snowHeads is much more fun if you do.

alex_me_ov, La Tania, is a great little resort, it has all the amenities you need and a great Pub!, it is quite small but in the evening the Pub Le Ski Lodge aint quiet, Live music, and other entertainment, overall a great atmosphere, and to add its beers cheaper than Courchevel and other resorts surrounding the 3Vs. Have a look at this site - www.latania.co.uk theres quite a bit of info on there.
Good luck, whatever you end up doing
