A Chalet for Cycling around VaujanyBuilt on a site chosen specifically for its convenience for both ski and summer sports, chalet Verney is located between the valley floor and Vaujany village. For cycling the classic alpine 'cols' the chalet location is second to none! Situated on the Col du Sabot mountain road itself which is a major (though lesser known) climb often referred to as 'Le Petit Mont Ventoux' given its average gradient of 8.9%. See below link: http://www.climbbybike.com/climb.asp?Col=Col-du-Sabot&qryMountainID=6699
Furthermore, the chalet is only 3km above the base of the epic Col de la Croix de Fer / Col du Glandon - 20km+ ‘hors categorie’ climbs regularly used in the Tour de France. The world famous La Marmotte cyclosportive also uses this very same road thus providing an excellent vantage point from which to view or take part. For further information on this key event: http://www.sportcommunication.com Other famous alpine cols within cycling distance of the chalet: Col du Galibier; Col du Glandon; Col du Lautaret; Col d’Ornon; Alpe D’huez; Chamrousse; Col du Telegraphe; Les Deux Alpes; Col du Mollard; La Toussuire & Alpe du Grand Serre.

http://www.cyclingcols.com A Chalet for Skiing in VaujanyWith easy local ski lift access (3 minutes drive) to the famous Alpe d'Huez ski (Grandes Rousses) domain, chalet Verney offers you some of the most varied piste skiing in the French Alps, if not the world, catering well for all abilities although perhaps favouring the intermediate skier and those with families.
With pistes from 1250-3330m, Vaujany combines an authentic mountain village with the most up-to-date ski facilities such as a 160-man lift system (one of the largest and fastest in the world).
The skiing around Vaujany is not only picturesque but superb particularly on the village side, with a mighty vertical of 2230m, known as the 'Champagne Run' and claimed to be the longest pisted ski run in the Alps. And to top it all, queuing is virtually unknown in Vaujany!
For further information on skiing in Vaujany:
If serious offpiste is your preference, the world famous ‘La Grave La Meije’ ski area is less than an hours picturesque drive away and thoroughly recommended if your ability allows! The ski resorts of Les Deux Alpes and Chamrousse are also within an hours drive of the chalet. |
