AREA GUIDE & LIFESTYLE
Oz 3300: An Alpine Sanctuary
at the Heart of the Alpe d'Huez Grand Domaine
One of the Alps' best kept secrets. A purpose-built resort that got everything right.
Oz 3300, formerly known as Oz en Oisans is one of the great discoveries of the French Alps. A resort that has earned its growing reputation not through aggressive marketing but through a rare and deliberate combination of architectural restraint, genuine alpine character, and access to one of the most expansive ski areas on the continent. Located in the Isère département at the heart of the celebrated Alpe d'Huez Grand Domaine, Oz 3300 is a resort built around a real sense of place, one where traditional stone and timber buildings sit low in the landscape, where pine forests frame every view, and where the absence of traffic transforms daily life into something genuinely unhurried and free.
For buyers seeking new build ski property in the French Alps, Oz 3300 offers a proposition that very few resorts can match: direct access to a 250-kilometre ski area spanning five interconnected resorts, a genuinely car-free village atmosphere that appreciates rather than depreciates with time, year-round lifestyle appeal across both ski and summer seasons, and an entry price point that remains for now meaningfully below comparable Grand Domaine destinations. That window is narrowing, and the most astute buyers are already taking notice.

The Alpe d'Huez Grand Domaine. One Area, Five Resorts
Oz 3300 sits at the heart of the Alpe d'Huez Grand Domaine, a superb interconnected ski area linking five resorts across the Isère massif: Alpe d'Huez, Oz 3300, Vaujany, Auris en Oisans, and Villard-Reculas. With 250km of marked pistes, over 80 ski lifts, and a vertical drop of more than 2,200 metres from the glacier at Pic Blanc down to the valley floor, the Alpe d’Huez Grand Domaine Ski offers a skiing variety that would take weeks to fully explore.
Two gondola lifts depart directly from Oz 3300: one connecting to the gentle beginner slopes above Vaujany at Alpette, and a second rising in stages to the heart of the Alpe d'Huez ski area. From the summit of the Pic Blanc at 3,330 metres, the highest point in the Grand Domaine and awarded three stars in the Michelin Green Guide, skiers are rewarded with breathtaking panoramas extending to Italy and the Massif Central, as well as access to some of the most exhilarating terrain in the Alps. The legendary Sarenne Europe's longest black run at 16 kilometres, dropping over 2,000 metres is the signature descent of the area, and one of the most memorable runs in Alpine skiing.
The Oz 3300 Lifestyle
Life in Oz 3300 moves to a rhythm that is becoming increasingly rare in the Alps unhurried, authentic, and entirely free of traffic. The resort operates as a fully car-free environment: vehicles are left in underground parking on arrival, leaving the resort's pedestrian lanes, timber-decked terraces, and mountain pathways entirely to those on foot and skis. This single design decision transforms the daily experience of the resort, making it exceptionally safe and sociable for families, and giving Oz 3300 a quality of life that no amount of après-ski infrastructure can replicate.
The village centre, compact, walkable and convivial brings together the ski school, nursery slopes, gondola lifts, restaurants, bars, sports shops, supermarket, and an outdoor ice rink all within easy reach on foot. Weekly events at the tourist office, including a traditional mulled-wine welcome evening, set the social tone: warm, genuine, and distinctly alpine. Local restaurants serve classic Savoyard cuisine like fondue, raclette and tartiflette alongside regional wines and mountain cheeses, while the proximity to Alpe d'Huez via gondola opens up a broader range of dining and après-ski, including the celebrated Folie Douce.
Summer in Oz 3300 is increasingly recognised as a destination in its own right. The Grand Domaine transforms into a vast playground for hikers, mountain bikers, trail runners, and road cyclists, with hundreds of kilometres of marked trails revealing panoramas that rival anything the winter season offers. The Lac Besson high-altitude lake circuit accessible by cable car to the Pic Blanc is one of the most rewarding alpine walks in the Isère. For road cycling enthusiasts, the resort sits at the gateway to the legendary Alpe d'Huez Tour de France climb, drawing cyclists from across the world throughout the summer months. White-water canyoning, hydrospeed, and enduro mountain biking complete a summer activity programme that makes Oz 3300 a compelling year-round destination for both lifestyle buyers and rental investors alike.
Why New Build Properties in Oz 3300 Are So Sought-After
Oz 3300 is a resort where land is genuinely scarce, the mountain site is finite, planning permissions are carefully controlled, and the resort's commitment to its low-rise, stone-and-timber architectural character ensures that new developments are thoughtfully integrated rather than simply added. This structural constraint on supply is a fundamental driver of long-term property values, as demand from UK, European, and international buyers continues to strengthen relative to the available quality stock.

INVESTMENT CASE
The Investment Case for Oz 3300 Property
"An undervalued resort within one of the Alps' great ski areas, a loyal and growing international buyer base, and a rental market that performs strongly across both winter and summer seasons."
Oz 3300 is one of the most interesting and genuinely compelling emerging property markets in the French Alps. Its position within the Alpe d'Huez Grand Domaine gives it access to a ski area of exceptional depth and prestige, while its relative obscurity until recently has kept entry prices meaningfully below comparable destinations within the same domain. That dynamic is changing. An ambitious gondola infrastructure programme phased between 2025 and 2027, growing international awareness of the resort's quality, and a strengthening dual-season rental market are all converging to create the conditions for sustained price appreciation in well-positioned new-build stock.
Market Fundamentals: Why Oz 3300 Endures
○ Alpe d'Huez Grand Domaine Ski: 250km of pistes across five interconnected resorts
○ Car-free village character drives repeat visitor loyalty and premium rental demand
○ Dual summer and winter seasons extend rental occupancy well beyond the ski calendar
○ Grenoble Airport under one hour: Among the most accessible resorts in the French Alps
○ Altitude 3300 infrastructure investment: five new gondolas phased 2025–2027
○ Severely constrained land supply and strict planning protect long-term values
○ Undervalued relative to Alpe d'Huez ski resort. Same ski area, more accessible pricing
Oz 3300 Investment Performance at a Glance
○ Average price per m² (Oz 3300): €4,500 – €8,500+ (ski-in/ski-out and piste-view premium)
○ New build premium vs resale: Typically 15–25% higher long-term value retention
○ Gross rental yield (LMNP managed): 3.5–5%+ net of charges · higher for ski-in/ski-out positions
○ Peak rental demand: Christmas, February half-term, Easter, and July–August
○ Weekly apartment rental (peak): €1,800 – €5,000+ depending on size and specification
○ VAT recovery (new build rental): Up to 20% TVA reclaim under para-hôtelier tax regime
○ Notaire fees (new build): Approx. 2–3% (vs 7–8% for resale)
○ Ski season length: December – April · summer season July–September growing strongly
Exceptional Rental Income Potential
Oz 3300 generates strong rental yields underpinned by both its exceptional winter skiing and its growing summer mountain activity season. Peak winter weeks Christmas, New Year, February half-term, and Easter are fully booked months in advance, with weekly rates for a quality 2-bedroom apartment ranging from €1,800 to €4,000 and larger ski-in/ski-out properties achieving considerably more. The summer season, driven by the mountain biking and hiking calendar and the legendary Tour de France cycling pilgrimage to Alpe d'Huez, adds a meaningful second peak that significantly improves annual yield calculations compared to purely winter-focused resorts.
For investors operating under the para-hôtelier furnished rental tax regime, the ability to recover 20% TVA on the purchase price potentially saving €45,000–€85,000 on a well-specified Oz 3300 property combined with depreciation offsetting against rental income under the LMNP régime réel, creates one of the most tax-efficient Alpine investment structures available anywhere in Europe. Managed residence operators handle all aspects of lettings and property management, providing a genuinely hands-off income stream for international owners.
Oz 3300 vs the Wider Grand Domaine
Compared to Alpe d'Huez town, the most prominent resort in the Grand Domaine, Oz 3300 offers access to an identical ski area at a meaningfully more accessible price point. New build apartments in Alpe d'Huez regularly command a 20–35% premium for equivalent specification and ski access, making Oz 3300 an outstanding value proposition for buyers who understand that the piste access, vertical drop, and mountain experience are effectively the same from both resorts. For buyers seeking genuine alpine living with strong investment credentials, growing international recognition, and an active infrastructure investment cycle, Oz 3300 stands as one of the most compelling propositions in the entire French Alps property market today.
