 Poster: A snowHead
|
(trying again - no answer on Resorts Forum)
We're going to be in La Tania in Feb, but one our our number has decided to be semi-detached from the group and booked a hotel in Brides les Bains (as everything nearer was booked). I see on the LaTania.co.uk website that there are buses this season between there and Meribel (he'll get the bubble up from Brides). However I have searched the bus company links and can find no timetable, or location of bus-stops.
More information from a local would be good

SuburbanSkier, Send a message on Latania.co.uk to Toffa who owns the site he is usually most helpful unless it's a powder day

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

boredsurfin, Thanks - had already done that but your warning re timing of response is helpful - and I see that it's chucking it down as far as Moutier today (gnash -knowing my luck it'll all be slush or rock'n'ice by the time we get there).

SuburbanSkier, The Bus runs from La Tania on the main road near the bottom of the lift to the roundabout in Meribel Village next to Pub Le Grange. Last bus back to La Tania is 18.30. They don't run very frequently.

Anyway, snowHeads is much more fun if you do.

Spyderman, Thanks - am I right that Meribel Village is not the busy meeting place at the centre of Meribel? If he's coming up on the bubble from Brides les Bains how would he get to Pub le Grange?

Think the bus only runs 4 X a day from La Tania to Meribel Village. Mistake 1: I missed the last lift back to Courchevel Valley last Thurday & had to ski back down to Meribel Village below Meribel. Got a taxi back & made mistake 2: of giving the name of my up market Hotel in 1850 which no doubt inflated the price. Mistake 3: didn't realise La Tania is only 2-3 K around the corner from Meribel Village & taxi should have been only a few Euros & then took the ski bus. It did rain last week but it was still good down to LaTania the next day & when I left on Saturday it had been dumping snow since 3 am. You'll have a ball your mate at Brides Les Bains should find a cupboard to sleep in LaTania after a skin full and live music. http://picasaweb.google.com/lechbob/Courchevel

There's an update on latania.co.uk
The bus that ran last season between La Tania and Meribel Village (where it connects with the Meribus system) will only run at peak season this year - starting 11th Feb for 3 or 4 weeks (unless it is used a lot).

Easy to hitch the gap though. Buses to Meribel and Courchevel (get off at Le Praz for La Tania on the Courch bus) from Bride Les Bain around every hour during the day (not free though).
