Eat, Drink, Ski and Enjoy
No two ski days the same
The resort of Oz is among the most snow-sure you will find anywhere in Europe, being loftily located at 1,350m in the Massif des Grandes Rousses. It links with the popular stations of Alpe d'Huez and Vaujany as well as some lesser-known ones such as Villard-Reculas and Auris en Oisans.
The whole area is well served with lifts, making it a paradise for alpine and nordic skiers as well as walkers. The pistes are distributed across all levels of ability, from nursery slopes up to black runs (of which there are 15), and there is great off-piste skiing too. The Huez region is home to the longest black run in Europe, the 16 kms of The Sarenne, and also the infamous Tunnel, a rite of passage for more experienced skiers. The Pic Blanc and Glacier are at 3,330m.
Oz itself has two main lifts, Alpette, which takes skiers up towards Vaujany, and Poutran, which heads towards the sunny slopes at Alpe d'Huez. Your choice: look out of the window from The Penthouse and decide which takes your fancy on the day!

Eat like the montagnards
Our well-equipped kitchen at the chalet has everything you need to feed the crowds at home: local charcuterie, artisan breads, cheeses, wines and (of course) génépi, are readily available just metres from the front door. Raclette or fondue machines are available for hire and we can recommend in-chalet catering if required.
Fun
If it's Après-Ski you're craving after a day on piste, Folie Douce at the Marmottes 2 lift is sure to hit the spot! Go from 3pm at the end of the week and drink in the atmosphere... Closer to home, La Potée d'Oz right opposite the chalet is the place to unwind with a vin chaud or Aperol...
