Experienced skiers and boarders will have routines and 'go-to' things they do before and during their holidays. Oz ski station is a quaint village with a small supermarket for day to day essentials and a handful of restaurants, bars, ski hire shops and boutiques, which are enough to sustain a week stay. There are of course plenty of restaurants on the mountain, but we tend to self-cater and the apartment is set up as such. The balcony faces south and so catches the sun at lunchtime (evenings in summer). We therefore tend to stock up with provisions for the week either in Grenoble or Vizile on the way up the valley. There is also a large supermarket in Bourg which means a car journey, but once up in the resort the car can be forgotten about as everything is accessible on skis or by foot.
