Self-Drive

You can easily drive to La Tania from the UK, however be prepared for between 7 and 10 hours behind the wheel, depending on the weather, traffic and how fast you drive.

Before setting off, it may be worthwhile checking the weather as this may well impact the route you take. Also remember to bring a set of working snow chains no matter what the snow forecast says. The Police are occasionally known to stop cars without snow chains or snow tires when the snow sets in and besides, driving on snow without chains can really wreck your wheels.

Car parking in La Tania is known to be slightly more difficult than in other resorts. There is local underground parking but it is availability permitting so be prepared to park slightly out of town.
