Top Activities to Enjoy in the La Tania Ski Resort

It is a well known fact that even the most enthusiastic of winter sports practitioners will most likely not spend every minute of his or her stay at a resort on the piste or inside a ski chalet. La Tania and its sister resorts of the Trois Vallées area account for just such a situation, and ensure that their winter programmes and holidays are filled with sufficient variety of activities to satisfy even those who are not particularly concerned with improving their skiing or snowboarding ability.

This large range of things to do and see away from the piste is especially beneficial for families staying in a local ski chalet. La Tania visitors with small children, for instance, will find the resort offers more than enough to keep them entertained once they are tired of skiing – something parents are definitely likely to appreciate. Even ski resort veterans will discover that the resort's range of offered activities ranges beyond the standard fare found at other resorts, making it the perfect location for a wholesome family holiday.

That is not to say, however, that the French Alpine resort does not feature all the activities winter tourists have come to expect from such a location. Visitors spending a holiday here will still come across the usual snowshoeing, dogsledding, paragliding and mountain walks available in nearly every winter resort nowadays. Standard related activities such as indoor climbing or ice skating are also available, for those who enjoy them. The beauty of this particular location, however, is what it has to offer in addition to that standard list of services.

In fact, for those willing to spend a non-piste day away from their ski chalet, La Tania holds a bevy of unusual alternatives to winter sports, most of which are likely to entice and enchant at least one member of the travelling group. These programmes are also, as noted above, sufficiently varied to ensure no one is left twiddling their thumbs, and that the entire group can partake in a morning or afternoon of fun.

A good example of the type of activities on offer at the resort and its surrounding towns is ice-karting. This is just what the name indicates – a go-kart race, except on a track covered with ice! As anyone who has ever partaken in one of these events will know, a ‘regular’ go-kart race is already exciting enough; when you add a slippery surface to the mix, thrills and spills are almost guaranteed!

Extreme thrill lovers might also find the prospect of ‘ski-doo’ racing enticing enough to drag them out of their ski chalet. La Tania offers the possibility of going for a ride on one of these snowmobile bikes, whisking over snow-covered hills and pistes as the wind beats on your face – certainly a thrill to match any skiing or snowboarding session.

After an exciting day spend out in the elements, visitors are also likely to enjoy the indoor warmth of the resort’s ten-pin bowling alley, where they can unwind with a competitive game or three.

It is clear, then, that the variety of activities on offer at this excellent resort is more than enough to satisfy anyone.
