Oz en Oisans offers a small, picturesque ski resort for people looking for somewhere quieter. We stayed in a half board hotel so can't comment on the restaurants but there were a couple of bars for and apres ski beer. If you're looking for lots of night life this isnt the place for you. We stayed in Hotel Les Cristaux which has a great little pool that's also open to the public. The skiing is great. There are a handful of nice easy slopes by the village then two cable cars to take you higher up the mountain. As mentioned elsewhere the runs from the top back down to the village are a little tricky so some might want to get the lift down. You have great access to the whole Alpe d'Huez Grand Domaine from the lifts above Vaujany right across to Auris. One word of caution, if the weather is inclement, keep an eye on the lifts. We got stuck over in Alpe d'Huez for a few hours one afternoon when wind shut all the lifts! Well done to the ski staff who did eventually get everyone back. Transfers to Oz can be a bit tricky. We took Bensbus to Rochetaille the a 40euro taxi (taxi d'Oz) up to Oz. There is also a free shuttle bus if its timetable fits with your itinerary.

In the heart of the Vercors region, explore this cave hidden within the magnificent Cirque of Choranche. Let yourself drift... The waters of the underground lakes and rivers flood the crystal whiteness of the rock formations with emerald green reflections. The stalactites, called straws are the great sights of this cave: they are very thin, very fragile. There are thousands of them in Choranche which is a unique scene in Europe. During the tour, your eyes may catch sight of a cave dwelling animal which is a survivor from the prehistoric era: the Olm... In the Cathedral Cavern, the new Son&Lumiere is an invitation to dream: let your imagination immerse in the underground world for an amazing show... Choranche's Son & Lumiere show for each tour.

Alpe d'Huez Grand Domaine is impressive and huge. Much more diversified and challenging than the 3 Valleys or Espace Killy. The Sarenne Glacier is totally underrated, it is one of the very few where you can actually spend the whole day above 3,000m without the need to ski down and queue to take a gondola back up: there are 2 chairlifts that give you access to very challenging pistes (groomed and not groomed, your choice!). The view rom Pic Blanc is out of this world

We turned off our tour of the Chartreuse mountains to have a quick look at this and ended up staying for a couple of hours. It’s a beautiful place to just chill out and have a picnic but the walk up to the waterfall is well worth it, although have to admit it made us puff a bit in the 30 plus heat! There’s a restaurant and toilets there too. You have to pay 3.50 euros to drive in but it’s only per car so good value really and well worth it. Great place for couples and families with small kids as there’s a shallow river they can play in. Highly recommended.
10. Parc Jean Claude Paturel
