Vaujany (Alpes du Nord) - At an altitude of 1,250 metres, this intimate village overlooking the Eau d'Olle valley has found a rare alchemy: the authenticity of a mountain village, direct access to a major ski area, and controlled prices. Linked to the Espace Alpe d'Huez in just a few minutes, the resort appeals to families and experienced skiers alike, supported by a communal model that places comfort, culture and simplicity at the heart of the holiday.
Easy to access, fluid and designed for everyone
Vaujany is one of those resorts where you arrive... and everything becomes simple. Thanks to its proximity to Grenoble (45 mins) and the fact that Paris can be reached in 4 hours (TGV + shuttle), organising your stay is almost effortless.
At the station, the emphasis is on fluidity:
- Free covered car park
- Intra-station shuttles
- Escalators linking the various districts
- Limited travel, maximum comfort
A major advantage for families or short breaks who want to avoid the usual logistical constraints of the major Alpine resorts.
The ski area: immensity and tranquillity

Espace Oz-Vaujany: the quiet side
For a more intimate atmosphere, the Espace Oz-Vaujany has 53km of pistes, a beginners' area, a snowpark and a peaceful atmosphere. It's the perfect alternative for those who want to ski away from the crowds, start out on their own or make progress in peace and quiet.
