Oz en Oisans Piste Map and Overview
Oz en Oisans is a charming gateway into one of the most exciting and varied ski destinations in the French Alps, thanks to its direct connection to the Alpe d’Huez Grand Domaine Ski area — one of the largest ski domains in the Alps. From the village at about 1,350 metres, you can take lifts up toward the high terrain of the Grandes Rousses massif, including slopes that link into the 250 km / 155 mi network of pistes spread across Alpe d’Huez and surrounding sectors. The ski area offers diverse terrain for all levels — from gentle blues and greens around Oz and Vaujany to legendary long runs like the Sarenne black from Pic Blanc, one of the longest downhill pistes in the world.
What makes Oz en Oisans particularly special is its blend of relaxed village charm and big-mountain access. The resort itself feels welcoming and traditional with ski-in/ski-out access and a friendly vibe, while a quick ride on the Poutran gondola or other lifts drops you into the huge Grand Domaine playground — great for family groups, mixed-ability parties, and adventurous riders alike. Snowmaking and favourable exposure help keep conditions reliable, and the scenic mountain setting — including views across the Oisans and toward Mont Blanc on clear days — makes every run feel extra memorable
