“Qualité Tourisme” Label

Our Quality Tourism commitments:

Located in the heart of the Oisans, on the road to the great passes and belonging to the prestigious Alpe d’Huez ski/mountain bike domain, Vaujany is on a strategic axis in terms of tourism development.

Our Tourist Office must be up to the challenge of tourism, and for several years now we have chosen to place quality at the heart of our concerns and within our tourism strategy in order to allow for a constant progression in the quality of our destination.

Aware of the demands of our visitors as to the quality of the services offered, concerned about the satisfaction of our partners but also about the concerns of our elected representatives, the Tourist Office team has set 4 priority quality objectives and clearly displays its quality commitments.

• Quality human relations
  Satisfying a customer, a partner or a colleague means above all listening to them, understanding them in order to better advise them or help them in their search
• Efficient and pleasant working conditions
  By improving the organisation and internal communication of our services (in particular team meetings), we enable each member of our team to fulfil his or her potential and to show his or her dynamism within a united team
• A competent and trained team
  By encouraging our staff to follow various training courses, to participate in seminars, and to take part in local and foreign tours in order to develop their knowledge of the services on offer, we offer each member of the team the opportunity to demonstrate their professionalism and dynamism
• Actions committed to sustainable development
  Because tomorrow’s world can no longer ignore the principles of sustainable development, each of our actions (communication, purchasing, sorting, events, publications, etc.) must always respect this principle.

In order to offer quality services to our visitors, we are committed to :

Our sustainable commitments:

Because tomorrow’s world can no longer ignore the principles of sustainable development, all the staff of the Tourist Office are committed to implementing and respecting actions in favour of the environment (communication, purchasing, sorting, events, publications, travel, etc.). These eco-actions are listed in a charter, displayed in our premises.Concerned about the environment, the commune of Vaujany also wanted to have its efforts recognised and obtained the “Station Verte” label on 7 October 2014. A Green Resort is a welcoming territory in the heart of the terroir, recognised at national level as an organised resort, offering meaningful holidays, in favour of natural, authentic, human and environmentally friendly tourism.Thus, we encourage everyone (inhabitants, socio-professionals, tourists) to make their contribution to the good life in Vaujany:
