OZ EN OISANS | 1100 - 2800 m       Domaine des Grandes Rousses
The small resort of Oz-en-Oisans, nestled in the Eau d'Olle valley, is particularly renowned for its link with the Alpe d'Huez ski domain. This hamlet, built around a central intersection, is closed to vehicles; its pistes end at the foot of the buildings. Located in the centre of a pristine natural landscape, Oz usually benefits from the right amount of snow cover, which compensates for its scarce sunlight. In short, this destination represents an off-beat way to explore one of the most prestigious ski areas in Europe.
