Visitor Reviews of Oz en Oisans

My family went to Oz en Oisans for the first time last year. Having stayed in many resorts this is the one which ticks all the boxes. There are two gondola style lifts straight into two beautiful skiing areas (Alpe D'Huez and Vaujany). The children also have a great and wide skiing area in the village itself. There is everything from the longest black run in the Alps to the greatest variety of green and blue runs I have ever seen. As this resort is linked to the second highest mountain in the Alps, snow is virtually guaranteed in season.

Oz en Oisans itself is like a large village, with many log cabins and trees and overlooking the spectacular Belledonne mountain range. Big enough to have facilities but small enough to be compact and easy to get around. As others have mentioned, if you like night life, go somewhere else. If your idea of bliss is a quiet meal or drink in the evening with no screaming drunken parties in the middle of the night then this is the place for you. Cars, once you get there (half way up the mountain), are pretty much redundant as there are no roads. You park up in a multi-story or on the road side and then everything is on foot for the week. That meant we were happy for our kids to go out and toboggan in the street and low slopes with all the other kids every evening after skiing.

Ski school was right in the centre of the village at Os en Oisans although you need to book ahead as some people coming on spec couldn't get in. Our instructors were excellent. We could ski straight there from our chalet in 2 mins. Bliss.
