Can anyone give me any information about Oz en Oisans. There are 7 of us booked to go in Feb half term week (16th till 23rd) and staying in the Chalet des Neiges apartments. We are a mixed ability group and of different ages. Four adults and three children (youngest 4) hence going in half term week. The idea at the moment is for the more experience dads to have the full area pass while the rest of us have the local pass. My sister-in-law lacks confidence and will need nice gentle runs. Her children (12 and 9 year old boys) can ski blue and easy reds but usually only ski for half a day. My daughter who is 4 will go into ski school for the first time, which will allow me to ski for a few hours each day on runs close by.
We are flying to Geneva (flight times were better eventhough its further away) and then probably hiring two cars. For the last 2 years we have been going to Les Gets (but mainly go to Austria and Italy) but wanted to try somewhere different and higher up because of the snow situation last year.

Hi skisuit,
I can tell you about Oz en Oisans. I have had an apartment there for the last 16 years.
Your plans for different ski arrangements for the family can easily be met. The local pass provides for plenty of green and blue runs in a section above Alpe d'Huez and in the Alpette and Montfrais domains above Vaujany. There are fast telecabines to each area. The skiing back to Oz en Oisans is a bit tricky for those with limited experience and quite a few beginners take the lifts back. There are some easy runs in Oz en Oisans itself.
The Chalet des Neiges are very smart apartments. Oz en Oisans , itself, is on the small side with limited apres ski. There are plenty of restaurants and bars however. It is an attractive place, well designed, traffic free and set among trees with a good view of the very beautiful Belledonne mountain range. There is a swimming pool and ice skating rink. Unless you want lots of apres ski I think that it allows visitors to combine a pleasant small scale environment, with attractive buildings, in which to stay with access to a large ski area with a very good snow record.
If you have any specific questions I will be very happy to answer them on this list or by private message. Over to you.
