Hotel Telemark in La Tania Sold?
The auction for the Fonds de Commerce of the Hotel Telemark in La Tania took
place this morning at 11am at the hotel.
Rumour has it that it will be up and running again and not turned in to
apartments. There’s a lot to do in the 2 weeks until the resort opens but it
should once again be a friendly place to visit….
Nick getting some first tracks in Val Thorens today
As usual Nick was off looking for fresh tracks in Val Thorens today.

Snowy once again above La Tania
The Bouc Blanc restaurant at the top of the La Tania gondola has snow again. Colder and more snow lower down at the weekend hopefully.
La Tania & Meribel Village join the Meribel Happy Hour Week
Pub Le Ski Lodge and La Taiga in La Tania along with Lodge du Village in Meribel Vilage have joined the Meribel Happy Hour week from 12 to 19 December 2009.
Loads of bars doing Happy Hour prices all day, every day from the Ronnie to Dicks for the first full week of the season (limited opening from 5 Dec in Meribel and 1850).
With cheap lift pass prices and plenty of accommodation deals on offer it’s a great time for some early season skiing and boarding at bargain prices.
Will anywhere else in The Three Valleys follow? Over to you Courchevel….
Snow / Weather Update
After the really warm spell last week and the snow lower down all
disappearing (the 15 November rule being applied of no snow that falls
before then will stay) the outlook is for colder, unsettled weather. A
dusting of fresh snow overnight for Val Thorens who already have a small
number of lifts open and this set to continue tomorrow with light snow to
around 1800m and then sunshine for the rest of the week.
significant cooling and some fresh snow. The cannons should start kicking in
around then too to start laying out the proper base for resort runs lower
down. The general trend is for colder weather and snow in to the beginning
of December and lots of precipitation about but really to far away to call
at the moment. Things looking fairly normal for the time of year at the
moment.
La Tania’s favourite band Bring Your Sisters in Sweden
On the Swedish leg of the Scandinavian tour.
Back in the Ski Lodge on Fri 4 December…..
La Tania Bars – latest updates and opening nights
Pub Le Ski Lodge opens Sunday 29th November with Sunday Roast Dinner
for the locals. Then on Friday 4 December is the opening party with
Bring You Sisters playing (if they survive those Swedish girls –
they’re currently on a tour of Scandinavia). A few touch ups in the
pub to freshen things up, quite a few new staff this year and a
further heated full size parasol on the bottom terrace.
Sisters inspired party. A new, smart terrace out the front has been
built and they’re redoing the facade and signage etc. Hotel Telemark is up for auction on 27th November – news of that when
we hear and of what will be happening there this season. Chrome Bar is in a race before the snow comes down to complete the
terrace and extension out on to the piste. No opening date confirmed
yet. Hotel Montana news of the bar & restaurant opening is expected any day
– will be posted as soon as we hear. Meanwhile over in Meribel Village, Ania will be opening Lodge to
Village on Sunday 6th December (obviously) with Bring Your Sisters.
Further along in Meribel proper most of the bars have got together to
offer a Happy Hour Week long promotion with cheap prices from 12-18
December to kick off the season. Should be similar to La Tania prices
then…
