Summer Life Page<\/a> for further information and diary of events all Summer long.<\/p>\nIn La Tania there’s an outdoor swimming pool, tennis court, volley ball \/ basketball court, boules pitch, downhill mountain bike race course, table tennis tables and THE most glorious views of the mountains.<\/p>\n
In the surrounding area you’ve got Paragliding (tandem rides or weekly solo courses are available), hiking, Via Ferratta rock climbing, white water rafting, hydro speeding, fishing, horse riding, canyoning, quad biking, paint balling, off road motorcycling, archery, clay pigeon shooting, roller blading and road cycling. There’s golf in Courchevel (9 holes next to the Biollay lift) & M\u00e9ribel Golf Course (full 18 hole course above the Altiport) and wake boarding & water skiing in Annecy or just hang out and sun bathe in the fresh air of the mountains.<\/p>\n
Pub Le Ski Lodge has a Pool table and ice creams plus Happy Hours with cheap drinks and food served all day. Moules & Frites all you can eat on Thursdays and the original Alpine Fish n Chips on Fridays.<\/p>\n
The Tourist Office, Supermarket, Tabac, Bakery, La Ferme, Le Farcon and Mountain Bike Hire are all open plus there’s plenty of shops, bars and restaurants open in Courchevel and M\u00e9ribel too.<\/p>\n
Finally, don’t forget summer skiing and snowboarding. Looks like Val Thorens has given up for the moment on Summer skiing but the Tignes glacier will be open and has up to 16 lifts in it’s Summer area (including access), there’s up to 20km of piste and 750m vertical complete with a large fun park now located right up near the top of the Grand Motte. Tignes Summer Ski Area is open from 22 June to 2 September 2012.<\/p>\n
If you’re over in Tignes try TCs Bar in Le Lavachet, they’re open all summer too – but beware the ski area opens at 7:15am until 1pm – And no, it’s not like skiing on ice, although hard and pisted first thing, the snow softens very quickly and is often heavy slush by noon. Catching it at the right time can give great conditions and a foot of fresh in the summer isn’t unheard of!<\/p>\n
There’s also randomly organised tennis competitions, maybe a dog contest and potato growing challenge (known as EuroSpud), football tournament, fancy dress parties, Summer Ski Jumping and various F\u00e9tes & BBQ’s to attend including the big Le Praz and Les Allues F\u00e9tes with spectacular fireworks displays. Plus the Wood Cutters day, the shop clearance day in M\u00e9ribel, the Tour de France is always nearby (or here) and beach soccer championship in Tignes with Cantona etc.<\/p>\n
