The Skiing:
Grandes Rousses
Offering excellent nursery slopes and more challenging skiing around
Grandes Rousses and Pic Blanc at 3300m. Two black runs down the
Sarenne glacier are particularly renowned – one a steep mogul slope
and the other an incredible 16km trail into the Sarenne gorge. The
Visalp pass includes Alpe d’Huez, Vaujany and a day’s skiing in
Les 2 Alpes, Serre Chevalier, and across the border to Italy’s
‘Milky Way’.
Vaujany 1250m
Vaujany is an unspoilt mountain village, with a rather traditional
French atmosphere, easily accessible by cable car to Alpe d’Huez,
with Vaujany’s own sector offering a good value alternative.
Non skiing: open air ice rink, sports centre with pool, fitness centre,
sauna and hammam. A small selection of bars and restaurants make up
Vaujany’s low-key apres-ski.
