What we say

Summer in the French Alps is all about fresh air, sunshine and activities. Staying at our traditional alpine chalet feels more like visiting friends than being in a hotel, with home-cooked food, friendly hosts and a relaxed atmosphere.

Gentle rambles from the chalet to the waterfall, or epic alpine stomps above 2500m: there's something for everyone. For those who love a challenge, try cycling some of the world's most famous cols, or hit the local bike parks and mountain bike trails. Adrenaline junkies can give white water rafting, canyoning or via ferrata a go.

And the best part? Not every day has to be full throttle. Some afternoons are best spent in the chalet garden, sharing a slice of cake and a cup of tea with a friendly game of ping pong as the sun sets behind the peaks.

7 nights chalet accommodation at Maison Rostaing, La Villette
Breakfast every day (fresh baguettes, continental buffet, coffee)
Afternoon tea & homemade cakes every day in the chalet garden

Food & drink

Food at Maison Rostaing is half the holiday. Fresh baguettes every morning, homemade cakes in the chalet garden at 4:30, three proper evening meals cooked by the hosts (one outdoors on the BBQ), and two fully-equipped kitchens if you'd rather make your own. Vaujany village is a 1km stroll for everything else.

What's included

7 breakfasts, afternoon tea & cakes every day, 3 evening meals (including BBQ) with wine, welcome drinks. Lunches and 4 evening meals are pay-as-you-go.

Afternoon tea and cakes in the chalet garden
From our team

Afternoon tea in the garden

At 4:30 each day the hosts put out a homemade cake, a pot of tea and a few jugs of cold water in the chalet garden. Kids come off the trampoline, grown-ups come off the bikes, and everyone sits down for half an hour with the sun behind the peaks. It's the small ritual guests mention most on their way home.

In the local area

Le Chalet Gourmand

1 km walk

Creative French cuisine and mountain specialities in Vaujany centre. One of the hosts' top picks for a night out.

La Remise

1 km walk

Friendly pizzeria with a wood-fired oven in the village. Big portions, good for the kids.

Chalet du Lac Besson

90 min walk

Walk up, eat well, walk down. Tartes, tartiflette and a mountain-lake view.

Refuge de la Fare

2 hr 30 walk / 1hr 15 descent

A proper mountain refuge at 2200m. Worth the climb for the savoyard menu and the panorama.

Continental breakfast spread with fresh baguettes, yoghurt and jams
Afternoon tea and cakes in the chalet garden
Evening meal at the chalet
Shared table at the chalet dinner

Itinerary

Alpine Family Club is built to be flexible: plan what you want from the active pack, use the lift pass on your own schedule, and let the afternoon tea anchor the day. The sketch below is how most first-time families balance the week.

Location

  • Alpine Family ClubYour base

Vaujany

Steeped in traditional Alpine history, Vaujany is a beautifully preserved village high in the French Alps, offering a quieter, family-friendly alternative to the big-name resorts. Part of the Alpe d'Huez ski area, it delivers year-round adventure in the mountains without the crowds.

Getting there

Vaujany is in the heart of the French Alps, 1 hour by car from Grenoble and about 2 hours from both Lyon and Geneva airports. Most of our summer guests drive from the UK and bring their bikes; the train is a lovely alternative via TGV to Grenoble and a short onward transfer.

ATOL Protected

We take the hassle out of flights and transfers with an ATOL-protected package if you'd rather not organise it yourself. Our ATOL licence is 12803.

Flight times
Arrive by Any time · Depart after Any time

Lyon (LYS) is the most convenient airport; Geneva (GVA) is a similar drive and often has more direct options. The resort is also reachable by TGV to Grenoble (3 hours from Paris) plus a 1 hr transfer. Many guests drive from the UK via Calais (570 miles, doable in a day).

What we recommend

Drive if you can. Bringing your own bike, being able to stop at a proper French supermarket on the way in, and having wheels for the week is hard to beat. If you're not driving, the TGV to Grenoble + a transfer to Vaujany is our favourite hands-off option.

Vaujany did not disappoint nor did the accommodation /staff and the organisation to make us have a wonderful family holiday. Fantastic location with so much to do from hiking / tennis / biking / swimming/ rafting.

Amazing holiday yet again. Thoroughly enjoyed Vaujany for the second year running. Cannot fault the hospitality, felt like a home from home. Staff went out of their way to ensure we were looked after and as before a personal touch. James took our son down the slopes on a mountain bike experience, going above and beyond what we would expect. An added bonus was the chance to see the Tour De France this year! An amazing holiday and would definitely recommend. Thanks again!!!
