New to the market, this is a once in a lifetime opportunity to take ownership of one of the best located chalets in the charming alpine village of Vaujany.

Vaujany Village/Resort:
Vaujany is an authentic French alpine village before it’s a resort. Yet still located within the ski domain of the sunniest resort of the French Alps. Benefiting from more than 300 days of glorious blue skies a year, you’ll find Vaujany perched on a beautifully scenic slope in a corner of the Alpe d’Huez ski map. From the nursery slopes of Montfrais and Alpette, where those in the know retreat to during busier half-term weeks, to the more challenging terrain of the Pic Blanc glacier, the skiing region with its 250km of slopes has something for everyone.
The summer offers a vast range of activities - free tennis courts, mountain biking (the state of the art Telepherique runs during the summer months), archery, horse riding, sailing, windsurfing and stand up paddle boarding on the nearby dam, wonderful mountain hikes. Needless to say, with iconic Cols such as The Glandon, Croix de la Fer, Lauteret, Galibier and Alpe d’Huez within a day’s ride, Vaujany when the snow melts is a cycling Mecca.
The village of Vaujany itself is a hidden gem among the larger purpose-built resorts of the French Alps. Being unofficially ‘the richest commune in France’, its 300 or so year round habitants are blessed with an Olympic sized ice rink and pool, a bowling alley, library and cinema, bars, a small supermarket and restaurants - all connected effortlessly by escalators that whizz you around the charming village. It is a place that offers close to year round rental potential.
Travel:
921km (570 miles) from Calais to Vaujany - approximately 8 hours driving.
Situated only 1 hr 20 from its nearest airport, Grenoble St Geoirs, Alpe D'Huez has been appropriately named Isle de Soleil... The Island in the Sun.
This purpose built resort is home to 250 kms of piste and plays host to the Tour de France cycle race as well as the famous Mega Avalanche downhill mountain bike race. Being perched at 1800 m altitude its snow record is impeccable as its pistes rise up to a formidable 3300m on the summit of Pic Blanc.
It is certainly a very practical winter resort as its' centrally located leisure facilities and its cross town lifts make everywhere easily accessible.
