Vaujany, village and resort

A village and so much more

Vaujany, a village facing the Massif des Grandes Rousses

Vaujany is a wonderful example of a resort-village that combines tradition and modernity. Located on the southern slopes of the Rissiou, opposite the Massif des Grandes Rousses and the Cascade de la Fare, the scenery is quite something! The resort has been able to sustainably develop within the old village since 1989, without having to choose between tourism and its identity. Despite its rich history, old structures, and splendid scenery, the village also has modern leisure facilities.

With the support of Governmental ‘mountain law’, the resort was created within the old village in 1989, avoiding the need for any compromise between tourism and respect for its identity. With its wealth of history, old buildings and landscape, the resort has developed facilities that are perfectly adapted to modern tourism.

Via Ferrata – La Fare mountain climbing

Anyone who’s already passed by Vaujany will tell you just how the Cascade de la Fare dominates the land. You’d think this waterfall was made for the village, seeing as it’s just opposite it! There isn’t a balcony that doesn’t turn towards it. This waterfall is one of Mother Nature’s most wonderful gifts to us. So, do you fancy getting up close by following it along the pastoral plateau of Clos Giraud? The Via Ferrata in Vaujany is made up of 2 routes: the sporty one (La Cascade) D+, and the easier one, because two walkways are available (Les Passerelles) AD. Which one will you take?
