The ski area

Vaujany links into the Grandes Rousses ski area via a high-speed cable car. This impressive 160-person gondola takes just a few minutes to transport you directly to the heart of the Grandes Rousses, which also encompasses the resorts of Alpe d'Huez, Auris, Clavans, Le Freney d'Oisans, La Garde, Oz en Oisans and Villard Reculas.

Beginners

There are plenty of easy slopes for beginners to learn basic techniques situated in nearby Montfrais. We recommend the English-speaking ski school, ESF, who provide beginner's lessons on dedicated slopes.

Children

For children aged 4 and 5, the local ski school, ESF, provides an introduction to skiing in the nearby Jardin de Neige. The children are met by ESF instructors in Vaujany and are taken to the Jardin, where they spend the morning sliding, skiing and sledging in a safe and secure environment. Following lunch on the mountain, they are returned for afternoon care in the village crèche.

Children 6 years and older can be booked into morning or afternoon lessons with ESF according to their ability and age.

Intermediates and advanced

With 236km of pisted slopes - including one of Europe's longest black runs, the 16km Sarenne - you may feel spoiled for choice. If you'd like to take a private lesson, we recommend VO Coaching or Masterclass Ski School, which is based in Alpe d'Huez.

Powder experts

If you're looking for off piste adventures, the Grandes Rousses will not disappoint. There is skiing here to challenge even the very best. However, we strongly recommend that you do not go off piste without a qualified instructor or guide, and would be happy to make suitable reservations for you.

Freestyling

The nearby park in Montfrais is perfect for beginner freestylers. It hosts regular events and competitions, giving you fantastic opportunities to show us what you're made of. There are 2 additional parks in the Grandes Rousses area, each with a graded range of jumps and rails.

Snowboarding

Vaujany and the Grandes Rousses are ideal for boarders of all abilities. From gentle nursery slopes in Montfrais through to steep off-piste powder runs and freestyle parks, there is something for all level of ability and experience.

Please contact us should you have any questions at all and we would be more than happy to advise.
