Après-Ski Delights: Best Spots for Dining and Entertainment in La Tania
Situated in the Three Valleys area of the French Alps, the small village of La Tania is just the place for great skiing and snowboarding. It’s not only an aprés-ski destination but also boasts many dinner and entertainment options to suit every taste after one has carved through fresh powder all day and skied down to this lovely village.
Accommodation Entertainment
With après-ski culture in flux, new kinds of entertainment crop up that combine skiing with other activities. One such trend that is gaining popularity is Ski Bingo, where participants get to mark off bingo squares with events and achievements from the day on the mountain. These can include the spotting of particular wildlife, the accomplishment of a challenging run, or the enjoyment of Vin Chaud at a certain slope-side café. You can play bingo online on many sites with loads of themed games and interesting characteristics that make playing a breeze. Conveniently done on your smartphone or tablet, you can enjoy the lighthearted game right in front of the fire.
Another great option is to host a movie night, using streaming services like Netflix and Amazon Prime. Moreover, those who want to combine entertainment with a bit of wellness, consider trying a yoga or meditation session. Many online platforms offer guided sessions that you can follow. These activities are perfect for stretching out tired muscles and calming the mind.
Savour Alpine Cuisine
Nothing is better after a whole day of skiing than some heart-warming, soul-satisfying food to comfort the senses. For an authentic Alpine lifestyle, visit the rustic restaurant La Ferme de la Tania for local Savoyard specialities. Sample some of the classics: fondue, raclette, and tartiflette—all locally sourced and lovingly crafted.
For the more sophisticated, Le Farçon is a starred Michelin restaurant that puts a creative and innovative spin on alpine cuisine. Julien Machet mixes the region’s flavours in his kitchen, adding modernity to propose surprising dishes deeply anchored in the local terroir. The tasting menu is a must with seasonal ingredients matched with perfectly paired wines.
Bars and Nightlife
As the sun sets over La Tania, it is time to get a taste of the après-ski scene in the village. Several bars and pubs serve as a well-earned drink venue to relish the festive atmosphere associated with après-skiing in the Alps.
Pub Le Ski Lodge is the top place for aprés-ski drinks in La Tania – the life and soul of La Tania since 1993. Live music, TV sport, drinks promos, theme nights and great pub grub!
La Taiga is warm and friendly with a gentle atmosphere inside, this bar bistro is ideal for sipping a Vin Chaud or one of their signature cocktails. It’s a lively place to relax and socialise after a day on the slopes with live music several nights a week and a modern Savoie style restaurant upstairs.
Hotel Montana hosts a piano bar with occasional live music and video games and pool downstairs.
La Tania offers everything from fine dining to vibrant bars and relaxed home-based entertainment when it comes to après-ski delights. Whether one is attracted to the social buzz in the village or the tranquility of the atmosphere that exists within the chalet, there is something to please everyone after a day in the mountains.
