Location and access to the ski area

Oz Station sits at 1,350 m on the slopes of the Grandes Rousses. The village is entirely pedestrianised: cars stay in the car parks, and you get around on foot between residences clad in wood and stone, surrounded by fir trees.

Access to the ski area:

• • 2 gondolas take you up to 2,000 m in just a few minutes

• • Direct link to the Alpette sector and the Plateau des Lacs (2,100 m)

• • Reach the Pic Blanc in 45 minutes from the village

New: The Eau d’Olle Express, a valley gondola, now links Allemond with Oz, giving access from the valley while cutting down on car traffic.
