From Verney to Enversin

The starting point for this walk is the Barrage du Verney hydroelectric power plant, which was instrumental in the development of Vaujany and Oz en Oisans as ski resorts. This is an easy walk overlooking the Eau d’Olle valley with its crystal-clear lake. The shady footpath winds its way through the typical hamlets and villages of the communes of Vaujany and Oz en Oisans.
