Things to do
Discover the vibrant valleys
La Tania's tourist board has recently increased its summer activities programme with the aim of attracting visitors outside of the peak winter months. This makes it an ideal place for a holiday packed with activities and opportunities for exploration, in a picturesque area of the 3 Valleys.
There are some amazing free activities to try, not least of all exploring the mountains. Take the lift up to the top and amble your way down, or take a map and get lost among the beautiful paths and trails which crisscross through valleys, along mountainsides and through the stunning pine forests of the area. Keen mountain bikers will find something to suit all levels, while there are gentler slopes available for families wanting to explore at their own pace, with a delicious picnic packed with regional snacks from the local shops. Alternatively, animal lovers can enjoy horse riding through the area, with expert guides on hand to show you the ropes and lead you through the most picturesque trails.

Activities within the resort
The resort itself is home to an outdoor swimming pool, plus plenty of opportunities to make the most of the warm summer sunshine. Tennis courts are available to hire (with tennis instructors on hand), plus a beach volleyball court and a basketball court. Try the traditional French sport of boules, if you can remember the rules, or make the most of the table tennis available.
Those wanting to try something faster paced will find rock climbing, white water rafting along the fast flowing summer rivers, hydro speeding, and canyoning all just minutes from the centre of La Tania. And to really make the most of the Alpine views there is also fishing, archery, clay pigeon shooting and golf in the nearby resorts. Meribel Golf Course provides some incredible views as a backto your game, and 18 holes, while at Courchevel there's a slightly smaller 9-hole course.
Free events
The La Tania tourist office has started to put on a number of free and inexpensive events throughout the summer months, with something available for guests of all ages. The new La Tania Theatre Festival takes place in July and offers some English productions, although visitors may need to brush up on their French. There is also a children's cycle race, open days at the ranch where children can pet the animals, live music events which included The Kooks and Muse in 2015, and some incredible fireworks displays.
