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.
Alpine Family Club
Summer in the French Alps from Maison Rostaing, our traditional chalet in Vaujany near Alpe d'Huez. A lift pass, white water rafting, tree-top adventures and kids club sessions are all part of the week. From £1,094pp for 7 nights (2 sharing).
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.
What's included
Note: Flights & transfers are not included, but we do provide a free travel planner to book both for you with ATOL protection.

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.
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 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.
Le Chalet Gourmand
1 km walkCreative French cuisine and mountain specialities in Vaujany centre. One of the hosts' top picks for a night out.
La Remise
1 km walkFriendly pizzeria with a wood-fired oven in the village. Big portions, good for the kids.
Chalet du Lac Besson
90 min walkWalk up, eat well, walk down. Tartes, tartiflette and a mountain-lake view.
Refuge de la Fare
2 hr 30 walk / 1hr 15 descentA proper mountain refuge at 2200m. Worth the climb for the savoyard menu and the panorama.




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.

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.

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.
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).
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.
Guest reviews
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!!!
Great place, Great people, great fun!
