Skiing Holidays in Vaujany, France

Start: A cable-car takes you up to just below the 3330m summit of Pic Blanc above Alpe d’Huez.

Finish: The small hamlet of L’Enversin d’Oz below the attractive resort of Vaujany.

Route: This is not for the faint-hearted and is best-suited to experienced skiers. You cover a distance of at least 12km and drop 2230 vertical metres.

By the time you cross the blue piste at the top of Vaujany’s own ski area your thighs will be screaming – but incredibly you’ve got another 1000 vertical metres still to go. In heavy, wet snow conditions this last section can prove the downfall of even the fittest.
