Holidaying in a luxury ski resort in La Tania is an experience in itself, but those who want to explore more of this eastern region of France can take a quick drive to neighbouring attractions. Obviously the biggest draw is hitting the slopes, but travellers with a curious heart will want to explore the outlying attractions that can be discovered in neighbouring towns and villages. Many of these areas have a rich history that is reflected in their architecture and interesting way of life. After a few days on the mountain, it can be a refreshing change of pace to experience the simple French countryside, whether visiting during peak snow season or in the warmer months. Take a peek around Bozel or Les Allues Both of these small towns also boast accommodation (though not quite like the ski resort in La Tania), but it can be fantastic just to walk or drive through for a change of scenery. In the winter, pine trees are dusted below the tree line, framed by staggering peaks and plenty of hiking trails, snowshoe areas and even snowmobile paths. If you're a night owl there are a few cosy bars to settle into, such as Sant Roc in Bozel, with its lovely French décor. Bozel, Les Allues and the other villages near la Tania make a delightful side trip, and walking through local marketplaces, shops and along the winding roads is all part of the charm. Step back in time A few hours away by car from the ski resort in La Tania is Saint-Jean-de-Maurienne, which is the location of a fun museum that gives visitors a look into unique French culture. Musee de L’Opinel highlights the famous French OPINEL knives and how they have been used throughout history in the culinary arts. Visitors to the centre can also see the knives currently being made in real time though a multi-media presentation. Get lost in the beauty of nature Plenty of gorgeous views can be seen from the ski resort in La Tania Tania, however this lovely village also borders the Vanoise National Park – a veritable playground for outdoor enthusiasts. Paired with the Gran Paradise National Park, on the border of Italy, these two natural areas cover more than 1200 square kilometres. Several visitor centres are located within the parks so travellers can obtain real-time information about which pathways are open and where they can visit. There are several small bodies of water to explore in the spring, and countless snow-capped peaks for the ideal photo opportunities. Any time of year visitors can keep an eye out for the diverse wildlife, including Golden Eagles, Mountain Hares, Alpine Ibex and the Eurasian Lynx.
