The lodge
Le Cosy Lodge is 250 m² all to yourselves, designed for you to unwind and recharge: a swim spa heated all year round, a sauna, a games room and two lounges. For family or friends, up to 10 people, children and babies included.
Right in the village, with shops and restaurants 3 minutes' walk away, at the foot of Alpe d'Huez and Les 2 Alpes. A secure ski and bike room, private parking, and peace and quiet.
The spaces
Each space has its own description and conditions.
Your stay
At the foot of the Alpe d'Huez and Les 2 Alpes resorts, and on the road to cycling's legendary mountain passes. After a day out, unwind in the spa, the sauna or around the pool table.
Fibre WiFi, a dedicated workspace and a giant smart TV with HDMI cable provided: ideal for a seminar that is both productive and relaxing.
Support before and throughout your stay: booking activities and restaurants, daily spa maintenance. Details just below.
Eve takes care of everything, before and during your stay: she books massages at the lodge, activities (paragliding, rafting, adventure park, dog sledding, skiing…) and your restaurants, and looks after the spa and jacuzzi every day. Both are filled with spring water, so the water is always perfect.

Village & essentials
Bakeries, a mini-market, restaurants and terraces, a pharmacy and the Saturday morning market: everything you need is a few minutes' walk from the lodge, on the flat valley floor.
Nothing to book. The tourist office (+33 4 76 80 03 25) can tell you about restaurants and events.
Town centre, 38520 Le Bourg-d'Oisans
The Saturday morning market is well worth a visit for Oisans cheeses and charcuterie.
Village & essentials
Housed in the attic of the Saint-Laurent church, five minutes' walk from Le Cosy Lodge, the former Musée des Minéraux et de la Faune des Alpes has become GALTA, the Galerie des Trésors Alpins (Gallery of Alpine Treasures). Inside you'll discover the Oisans' signature crystals (quartz, axinite, epidote), an immersive show on Alpine wildlife through the seasons made with the Écrins National Park, and a comic-strip trail about life in the mountains. A visit of just under an hour that children love, perfect for a rainy afternoon.
Drop in without booking, tickets on site (give them a call on +33 4 76 80 27 54 to check it's open that day).
Place de l'Église, 38520 Le Bourg-d'Oisans (entrance through the building to the left of the Saint-Laurent church porch, lift available)
Just 5 minutes' walk from Le Cosy Lodge, no car needed: outside summer the museum mostly opens in the afternoon and never on Mondays, so check the day on +33 4 76 80 27 54 and keep it for a rainy day.
Village & essentials
Two or three private spaces in the lodge garden, plus a free public car park about fifty metres behind the house, with two EV charging points on the eborn network.
Charge with the eborn badge or app (you can also pay without a badge). No booking needed.
Behind the lodge, 38520 Le Bourg-d'Oisans
The private spaces are yours first: let Eve know if you're coming with several cars.
Ski & resorts
A quarter of an hour from Le Cosy Lodge via the famous 21-bend climb, Alpe d'Huez opens up a vast ski area that rises to the Pic Blanc at 3,330 m, facing the Écrins. In winter there's skiing, sledging and an ice rink; in summer the same gondolas carry walkers and mountain bikers up to the lakes and high-altitude trails, with two free lifts from the resort. The tourist office on Place Paganon can tell you what's on.
No booking needed to go up to the resort.
Tourist office (Maison de l'Alpe), Place Joseph Paganon, 38750 Huez (Alpe d'Huez)
Park in one of the free outdoor car parks (avenue de Brandes, Éclose, altiport, Huez village) and leave the car there: the shuttles and the Alpe Express / Huez Express gondolas are free within the resort.
Ski & resorts
Half an hour from Le Cosy Lodge, Les 2 Alpes is the big neighbouring resort: a ski area rising from 1,300 to over 3,500 m, with the Mont-de-Lans glacier reached in about twenty minutes from the village on the Jandri 3S cable car. In winter you can ski from late November to early May, and the high-altitude snow then holds until the end of May. Even if you don't ski, going up to 3,200 m as a pedestrian is well worth it for the views of La Meije and the Écrins.
No booking needed for the resort itself. Buy lift passes online at les2alpes.com (pre-sale is often cheaper) or at the lift ticket offices on site.
Les 2 Alpes tourist office (Maison des 2 Alpes), 4 Place des 2 Alpes, 38860 Les Deux Alpes
For spring and summer skiing, go up as soon as the lifts open, as the snow softens quickly by late morning; bring sun cream, goggles and winter clothing, even in June.
Ski & resorts
The Venosc gondola takes you in under 10 minutes from the car-free village of Venosc, deep in the Vénéon valley, up to the resort of Les 2 Alpes, perched at 1,650 m. Open to walkers, skiers and mountain bikers in both summer and winter, it's the easiest way up to the resort from Le Bourg-d'Oisans, with no hairpin road and no parking hassle. At the top you'll find the foot of the slopes, the trails and the terraces of the Alpe de Venosc; at the bottom, the village's lanes of craft workshops and, in summer, the Tuesday morning market.
No booking: tickets from the ticket office or the machines at the foot of the gondola in Venosc and at the top station, or online at skipass-2alpes.com (the resort's official ticketing). Information on +33 4 76 79 75 01.
Bottom station: in the heart of Venosc village, next to the tourist information office (355 route de Bourg), Les Deux Alpes, 38520 Venosc. Bottom station GPS: 44.9876, 6.1161. Top station: Alpe de Venosc, 38860 Les Deux Alpes. Not to be confused with the “Super Venosc” gondola, a ski lift inside the resort.
From Le Cosy Lodge, about 15 minutes on the flat D530 to Venosc: park in the village at the foot of the gondola rather than driving up to Les 2 Alpes, where parking is paid and always full, check the time of the last ride down before you go up, and bring an extra layer, as it's noticeably cooler at 1,650 m.
Lakes & swimming
A quarter of an hour from Le Cosy Lodge, Lac du Verney is a large turquoise lake framed by the Belledonne and Grandes Rousses massifs. All summer long, Allemond's municipal water sports centre rents out pedalos, canoes, kayaks, paddleboards, Optimist dinghies, windsurf boards and wingfoils, with landscaped beaches, a playground and lawns for picnics. Swimming is not allowed, but it's easy to spend the whole day here, between time on the water and a walk around the lake to the Himalayan footbridge.
No booking, just turn up at the centre (no online booking). Payment by card, cash, cheque or Chèques-Vacances.
90 chemin de Chambuisson, Lac du Verney, 38114 Allemond
In high summer, arrive at the 11am opening, as the pedalos go fast.
Lakes & swimming
A few kilometres from the chalet along the greenway, Lac Bleu is a small, crystal-clear lake at the foot of the Le Vert cliffs, with picnic tables and little jetties where children watch the fish. Carry on along the greenway to Lac Buclet, a former gravel pit turned 13-hectare lake and now a Natura 2000 site, then the Cascade de la Pisse waterfall 20 minutes further on. A flat loop of about 9 km, ideal for a family morning, with an all-terrain buggy or by bike.
No booking, free open access.
Lac Bleu: Route du Plan, hamlet of Le Vert, 38520 Le Bourg-d'Oisans (free car park “Parking du Lac Bleu”, 955 Le Vert); Lac Buclet: Buclet, 38520 Le Bourg-d'Oisans (parking by the lake). Start of the waymarked loop: tourist office, 31 quai du Dr Girard, 38520 Le Bourg-d'Oisans.
Set off from the chalet on foot or by bike along the greenway rather than by car (in summer the small free Lac Bleu car park, at 955 Le Vert, has few spaces), bring water and a cap for the sunny stretches, keep dogs on a lead (Natura 2000 site) and remember that swimming at Buclet is unsupervised.
Nature & hiking
Less than half an hour's walk from Le Cosy Lodge, at the foot of the Alpe d'Huez climb, the Sarenne torrent tumbles down a beautiful waterfall just behind the La Cascade campsite, less than 100 metres from the start of the GR 54. Come for the cool air and the sound of the water; the keenest can then climb the rock slabs, fitted with handrails, up to the hamlet of La Ville (1,031 m), with the Bourg plain at their feet. A short, free outing, perfect in the late afternoon.
No booking, natural site with open access.
GR 54 trail, behind the La Cascade campsite, route de l'Alpe d'Huez (D211), 38520 Le Bourg-d'Oisans (the falls themselves are in the neighbouring commune of La Garde-en-Oisans)
No dedicated parking: walk from the centre (20 to 25 min), stay on the marked path (the start is signed “Propriété privée”, private property, behind the campsite bins) and watch out for slippery slabs in wet weather and for the torrent, which can rise suddenly.
Nature & hiking
Half an hour from Le Cosy Lodge, this via ferrata climbs alongside the great Cascade de la Fare above the village of Vaujany, with the Eau d'Olle valley and Lac du Verney as a backdrop. Two routes to choose from: the “Cascade” route (D+), vertical and airy right beside the water, or the easier “Passerelles” route (D), with two long suspension bridges. Access is free for equipped climbers, and instructors offer guided outings for first-timers.
No booking for independent, equipped climbers (open access, via ferrata kits for hire from Atou' Sport in Vaujany).
La Villette car park, hamlet of La Villette, 38114 Vaujany (start of the marked “Via Ferrata” trail, GPS 45.1636, 6.0895)
Park at the La Villette car park at the very top of Vaujany and set off early with a windproof jacket (north-west facing wall, spray from the waterfall)
Activities
A few minutes from the centre of Le Bourg-d'Oisans, Parc Aventure Oisans offers 7 treetop courses and more than 80 challenges: two small courses from age 3, then green, blue, orange and red courses and a zip-line course. A continuous safety line runs along every course, which is reassuring with children. A 2.5-hour outing that's easy to fit into a day at the chalet, with no long drive.
Online booking recommended at parc-aventure-oisans.fr, otherwise by phone on +33 6 04 94 84 17 or by email at [email protected]. Gift vouchers available. Groups of 10 or more: quote on request.
Les Auberts, 38520 Le Bourg-d'Oisans
Book your slot online the day before (very few places without booking in August), go for the morning slot to avoid the heat, and wear closed trainers and clothes you don't mind getting messy.
Activities
A few minutes' drive from Le Cosy Lodge, Oisans Paintball welcomes you to a hectare of forest at around 720 m altitude, on the edge of Le Bourg-d'Oisans. Paintball, outdoor laser tag or gel blasters, from age 6, with an enthusiastic manager who advises beginners and regulars alike. Ideal for a birthday, a day out with friends or a family afternoon, summer and winter, even in the snow.
By booking only, by phone (+33 6 80 61 70 34 or +33 6 87 16 46 36) or by email at [email protected]; free quote for groups (4 to 50 players)
Forêt des Auberts, chemin de La Morlière, 38520 Le Bourg-d'Oisans (GPS 45.056408, 6.023927)
Wear trousers, long sleeves and old shoes, then follow the “Paintball” signs along chemin de La Morlière: the access track is rough, so drive slowly.
Activities
A short ride from Le Cosy Lodge, the road of the 21 hairpin bends climbs from Le Bourg-d'Oisans to Alpe d'Huez: 13.8 km at an average gradient of 7.9%, around 1,100 m of climbing, and every bend bears the name of a Tour de France stage winner. You start outside the Bourg-d'Oisans tourist office, tackle the steepest first few kilometres, then head for the official finish line at the top of the resort. A classic to ride at least once, at your own pace, on a road bike or an e-bike.
No booking, open access.
Start outside the Bourg-d'Oisans tourist office, 38520 Le Bourg-d'Oisans, then take the D211 towards Alpe d'Huez
Set off early in the morning (cooler air, fewer cars), save your legs on the first 3 kilometres at 10-12%, take two bottles as there's no guaranteed water point before the village of Huez, and note that the road is closed to cyclists on days when the Tour de France finishes there.
Activities
20 minutes from Le Cosy Lodge, the Vénéon Eaux Vives centre awaits you at Plan du Lac, facing the Écrins glaciers, to ride the turquoise waters of the Vénéon by raft, hydrospeed, hot-dog or kayak. Allow about 40 minutes on the water with a qualified instructor, a stop at the Lanchâtra waterfall and, for the more daring, a quick dip in the white water. Families are welcome from age 10 on the morning discovery run.
By phone on +33 4 76 80 23 99 or by email at [email protected] (contact form on the website, no online booking). Book ahead in July-August.
Base nautique du Plan du Lac, 90 route des Fontaines Bénites, 38520 Saint-Christophe-en-Oisans (between Venosc village and Saint-Christophe, on the D530)
From the lodge, allow 20 min via the D530 towards Venosc, then Saint-Christophe.
Activities
AkèneFly, the Oisans paragliding school founded by Guillaume, Mathieu and Nico, takes you on a tandem flight from the high pastures of Alpe d'Huez down to the Bourg-d'Oisans plain, more than 1,000 m below, landing a stone's throw from Le Cosy Lodge. No experience needed: the state-qualified instructor takes care of everything, you run a few steps at take-off, then sit back and enjoy the view over the Grandes Rousses and the valley. In winter you take off on skis from the slopes, meeting at the foot of the Pic Blanc gondola.
Online booking at akenefly.fr (“Choisir un vol” button) or at reservation.oisans.com, by phone or WhatsApp on +33 6 22 51 00 79 (8am-8pm), or by email. Book a few days ahead in high season.
School based in Le Bourg-d'Oisans (38520); flights take off from Alpe d'Huez, 38750 Huez (winter: meet at the foot of the Pic Blanc gondola, by the pink AkèneFly flags; summer: meeting point given when you book)
Wear closed shoes and warm clothes (it's much cooler up in the air than in the resort) and bring sunglasses, and aim for an early morning slot for the Grand vol: that's when the air is calmest and flights are least often postponed.
Activities
About twenty minutes from Le Cosy Lodge, the Second Souffle equestrian centre (Mesas stables) settles you into a sled pulled by a team of dogs and driven by the musher, along the snowy footpaths of Alpe d'Huez. Two options, a short ride of about 20 to 30 minutes and a longer one of 40 to 45 minutes, meeting at the Altiport (Bergers area) or below the Pic Blanc 1 gondola (Cognet area). A gentle outing that children adore; book early, as you need to reserve at least 15 days ahead.
Booking required at least 15 days ahead, by phone (+33 6 03 65 15 61 or +33 6 69 79 59 51) or by email at [email protected]; no online booking.
Second Souffle equestrian centre (Mesas stables), 736 route des Lacs, 38750 Huez (Alpe d'Huez). Meeting points for rides: Altiport (Bergers area) or below the Pic Blanc 1 gondola (Cognet area)
Car access to the Lacs area is limited: go up by shuttle or gondola, bring warm clothes and gloves, and call well before the school holidays (booking 15 days ahead, limited places).
Activities
A professional therapist comes straight to the lodge: 1-hour massages, from 2 massages, up to 6 a day for your group. After skiing, cycling or simply for the pleasure of it.
Eve books for you: just tell her the day, the number of massages and your preferences.

Alpe d'Huez (15 min, free parking), one of the largest and sunniest ski areas in the Alps, with its legendary climb of the 21 hairpin bends for cyclists.
