The pleasures of skiing
A typical alpine mountain village, in the heart of Oisans and at the gateway to the Ecrins National Park, Venosc is nestled at an altitude of 960 m and gives access to the Deux Alpes ski area. The 230 km of marked trails (17 green, 45 blue, 22 blue, 22 red, 12 black, a snowpark, a boardercross...) culminating at an altitude of 3600 m are accessible thanks to the 47 ski lifts. The glacier (3600 m) allows long snowy periods for the resort. The area offers off-road activities including Combe Interdite or Clos de Chalance, renowned for being difficult.
