Vaujany ski resort begins two year process to improve the leisure facilities

Vaujany, the small French village beneath the giant Grande Rousses ski area dominated by Alpe d’Huez, is working to expand its already good in-resort leisure facilities for next winter. The small village has benefitted from revenue generated by a nearby hydro-electric plant which has allowed it to spend on tourism infrastructure, including a fast giant cable car right to the centre of the ski slopes.

French resort Vaujany has launched a competition to think of new ideas to, make the resort more environmentally friendly.

Vaujany, which shares the giant ski area of Alpe d’Huez above, is largely powered by a giant hydro-electric power plant, income from which has been spent on lifts and other ski infrastructure at the traditional ski centre.
