The Rhone / French Alps / Isere region
We are based at the heart of the Grandes Rousses ski area (previously called Alpe d'Huez) with 250 km and 10,000 ha of skiing up to 3300m and an excellent snow record. You can buy your lift pass on-line before you set-off on holiday. For alternatives the electronic lift passes also cover Les Deux Alpes and Serre Chevalier approximately 1-2 hours drive away.
For users of Google Earth we are at Lat & Long 45 07.90N; 006 04.50E
In summer, amongst the beautiful Alpine views, there is plenty of walking, mountain biking, cycling, fishing, rafting, tennis and many other outdoor pursuits, with lots of space to be alone and avoid the crowds. We are also close to the Tour de France route and especially the climb or time trial up to Alpe d'Huez.
Oz hosts the Avalanche Cup mountain bike race and is agreat base for the Megavalanche race, usually held in July. Oz is also on the French National mountain bike championship circuit.
Alpe d'Huez / Oz Station area
Oz is mainly a traffic free resort at 1350m and has several bars and restaurants, heated indoor swimming pool and (in winter) an iceskating rink, floodlit skiing and tobogganing. With 3 beginners drag-lifts and 2 hi-speed telecabins skiers of all abilities are well catered for and skiing home is by reds and blues with Roche Noire an exciting black-run for the more experienced.
In summer, Oz is surrounded by well sign posted mountain walks, often with a lovely restaurant en-route. In winter and summer, the surrounding villages of Huez, Vaujany, Auris and Villard are a ski or walk away.
We can help your ski holiday get off to a good start by arranging any lessons and kit rental in advance, please discuss with us.
In summer walkers and mountainbikers can use the lifts out of Oz.
