Vaujany is perched up in the Dauphiné Alps and is surrounded by stunning high mountain scenery, it has been home to farming families for generations and still retains its rural atmosphere. Vaujany nestles on the south-facing side of the valley and is dwarfed by the Massif des Grandes Rousses, which takes it’s name from the spectacular show of colour projected by the setting sun on the high ridges. With the accompanying springtime sound of ‘Cascade de la Fare’, the location provides the perfect tonic for relaxation. Whether you are a retired skier or looking for a break from daily routine our holidays will give you the perfect serene getaway.
