Summer Activities
The swimming pool and sports complex has a 25m indoor heated
swimming pool with water slide, sports hall, gymnasium, sauna,
jacuzzi and steam room. Vaujany's 160-person cable car runs
six times a day during July and August giving access at the
first station to spectacular walks and mountain-biking beside
lakes and meadows brimming with wild flowers or higher up
where there is often snow still lying at 2800metres.
Down in the village there is a wonderful tennis
club where, having trounced the competition, you can relax
with drink in hand on the terrace, take your lunch under the
parasols and let your children enjoy the playground. If you
feel adventurous this is the place to sign up for your first
tandem paragliding flight.
Within an hours drive there is also boating,
river rafting, canoeing and mountaineering in the Parc des
Ecrins. The possibilities are endless and you will never feel
a lack of space. You will feast on the delicious mountain
air and sensational blue skies.

Ski Kindergarten/Ski School and Garderie
Day Nursery
Children 4 and 5 years old
Open 9.30am - 5pm
For lively 4 and 5 year olds there are tailor-made
packages of activities provided by Vaujany's small, friendly
ski school (ESF). In the morning, children can find their
ski legs at the ski kindergarten and after a supervised lunch
spend the afternoon having more fun in the Garderie day nursery.
Ski school starts at approximately
9.30am when ski school instructors meet children at the main
lift station in Vaujany and accompany them up to the ski kindergarten
at Montfrais. After a lunch stop at the mountain restaurant
all 4 year olds and any 5 year old beginners are accompanied
back to the day nursery for an afternoon of games and activities
until 5pm.
For those who are new to skiing, the Jardin
de Neige (ski kindergarten) at Montfrais near to the top of
the gondola has a special nursery ski lift and some pretend
animals. Children are gently introduced to snow by simply
walking on their skis, tobogganing or skiing down the short
nursery slopes.
