The Resort
Utter paradise
In the summer Vaujany transforms back to its centuries old farming roots with locals going about their business. Smell the beautiful meadow flowers and fresh mountain air, and listen to the gentle, almost meditational, clang of cow bells on the pastures above while La Fare waterfall, now set free of its frozen state, tumbles down the rock face opposite.

Escalators and lifts
The resort of Vaujany resides on the mountain side. It has built up over the years to accommodate the eager tourist wanting to have everything at their fingertips – spa, bowling alley, swimming pool, gym, ice skating rink etc. In doing so it has created three parts to the resort, all connected by a sophisticated lift system, comprising of escalators and a modern funicular.
There are shops and restaurants at the top, connected to the middle via a series of escalators where the lift station and tourist office are located. The bottom of the resort encompass the leisure centres, connected via a special funicular.
