Prognóstico de neve para Vaujany

Obviously, the Alpe d’Huez area is terrific but i’ll focus on the Vaujany side. The village is cute enough but, as it’s small, lacks choice in shops, restaurants, bars etc. You’re probably considering Vaujany as you’ve got young kids and the ski school and kids club are really good and used to Brit families. The problem lies in the fact that Vaujany is at the far left end of the piste map so if you have to return to base to pick the kids up after morning lessons or after their lunch you’re always checking your watch and have to time your return well. Lifts from the ski school area of Montfrais are painfully slow so it’s sometimes quicker to get a bubble into Vaujany (you can’t ski back) and then the gondola up the hill (quite a faff). La Fare black run is a good way to get back and probably easy for a black in almost all conditions. The gondola and chairs close if the wind is coming down the valley which virtually stops all skiing. You then need to either drive to Oz or if that’s out of action too, it’s a long drive to ADH. While Vaujany is small, it has a few good places to eat. Table de la Fare is great and to plat de jour is usually terrific value. La Remise is probably the best restaurant and the steak in Stieffs is also good. You’ll have a great trip (wind permitting) but you may get fed up with it quickly unless the kids enjoyment makes it worth the minor annoyances.
