Heading to La Tania – A Brief Overview
La Tania is part of the world famous Three Valleys ski area of France, located in the French Alps. In this area, skiers have access to miles and miles of slopes for downhill skiing and snowboarding, as well as areas for cross-country skiing, too.
For your accommodation, there are many wonderful ski chalets. La Tania and the surrounding areas are home to all different types and sizes of chalets, so finding something suitable for any size party is relatively easy. However, after a few days, you may find that you’re ready for a break from skiing and wish to find some other activities in the area. Here are just a few available.
Other Winter Activities in the Area
There are plenty of other outdoor activities besides skiing in the resort area. Within just a few minutes drive of the ski chalets, La Tania and surrounding areas offer snow mobile rides and dogsledding. Both of these make fun ways to enjoy the outdoors, with less strain on your body than skiing. You can also go ice-skating in the Olympic Park area, which is a great attraction for families with children.
For a wonderful way to see the entire area, why not consider a helicopter ride in Meribel? These rides allow you to see the entire ski area from up in the air, where you can really appreciate its enormous size and scope.
Don’t Forget the Indoor Sights
As one of the most charming ski towns in the French Alps, just minutes from the ski chalets La Tania has a quaint little downtown. There are plenty of shops, restaurants and bars to keep you entertained when you want to stay warm and cozy.
Nearby attractions
Geneva, in Switzerland, is just two and a half hours from the town, so if you want to experience a day out in a city full of culture and adventure (that’s also big on charm) why not consider a day trip? You can tour the museums and take in a wealth of shopping opportunities.
The small French town of Lyon is also about two hours from the Three Valleys’ ski chalets. La Tania and Lyon are somewhat similar in ambience, but Lyon is larger. Home to beautiful architecture, quaint cobblestone streets and several museums, and located just at the foot of the French Alps, Lyon is a popular weekend destination for Parisians looking to escape the hustle and bustle of the big city. The town is just large enough to offer plenty to do, but small enough to retain its charm.
Grenoble, too, is just a couple of hours away from the ski chalets in La Tania, and is home to the Fort de la Bastille, one of France’s most important historic sites. You also shouldn’t miss the chance to visit the Grenoble Museum. It houses some art by some of France’s most notable painters, including Chagall and Matisse. Le Magasin is another “don’t miss” museum for those who love contemporary art.
The Three Valleys area is certainly one of the best places in the world to take a ski holiday; but don’t make the mistake of thinking that skiing is all you can do in this beautiful part of the French Alps.
