The story of Vaujany is the stuff of fairy tales. In the 1980s, a hydro-electric scheme was developed lower down the valley and the village was awarded a huge amount of compensation. The villagers decided to purchase a state-of-the art 160-person cable car and built a link with one of France's biggest ski areas, Alpe d'Huez. It was the making of a perfect ski resort.

Visitors can now enjoy the laid back pace of life in Vaujany, while taking advantage of a huge skiing domain of almost 225km, served by some 85 lifts. A separate gondola provides alternative access via Vaujany's own ski area, Montfrais.

In addition to the vast array of winter sports on offer Vaujany can also a fun and relaxing holiday.  For example you can enjoy a truly wonderful ‘apres-ski’ in the superb Leisure Centre with its 25m swimming pool, gym and sauna. 

There are some great shops, restaurants and bars in Vaujany which can be access via the unique ‘covered’ escalator which runs through the village.
