Vaujany is a French ski resort that is not very far from the Italian border; the region is a quiet little hamlet – a wonderful place for ski holidays.
The resort is designed primarily to cater for beginners – just about 60 percent of all of the runs are for them – a third of them are for intermediate skiers, and only ten percent of the slopes are the kind that advanced (single black diamond) skiers would be able to attempt.
The resort has eight-four ski lifts, but it does not have any trams or gondolas. The top of the mountain is located at just over 9000 feet above sea level, the bottom is at around 3,600 feet, and the longest ski run is just slightly less than ten miles in length.
There is a hydroelectric plant nearby that provides ample power to the entire region, and the area also has the largest cable car in the world; it connects the resort to the Grandes Rousses region.
There are five hotels in the immediate area for people to choose from for their ski holidays, and the ski resort provides care for children from as young as six months; plus there are various other activities for youngsters and skiing lessons are available for the older children.
You can access the area by plane or by driving yourself if you have the stamina.
The restaurants provide good French and Italian food; there is a variety of cuisine to select from.
If you are on a tight budget when looking for your ski holidays check with the Vaujany hotels about special offers that they give for certain times of the year.
