Small and intimate, La Tania is good for families with slopeside lodging and friendly restaurants where you quickly feel like a local.

There isn’t any nursery provision for babies but children of three and up can join the "Chez Nounours House of Children” (+33 (0)4 79 08 40 40) for fun and games.

Ski school is available from age four and there’s a choice of the French Ski School (ESF) or Magic Ski School. Both operate their own snow parks for learning away from the main pistes. The Magic Ski School has special classes for four and five year olds with a low ratio of staff to children.

The Ecole de Ski Francais starts children aged three-and-a-half or older on their standard French ski levels, beginning with the Ourson.
