French ski village Vaujany at night.

The small French resort of Vaujany is organizing an opportunity for skiers to enjoy an introduction to astronomy, ice dancing, and other artistic displays right in the resort this winter.

It’s part of the resort’s ‘Head in The Stars’ special celebratory week from February 6th to 13th, 2010.

As a part of the festivities, a star ice dancer will be performing on the resort’s ice rink, and there’ll be the chance to meet several ice skating stars. A professional astronomer will guide guests on a starry clear night sky in the French Alps.

There will also be artists on the resort’s street demonstrating skills including speed painting, sand painting and glitter gluing. Experts like Mickaël Raivard will be creating portraits in less than five minutes using glue and glitter and there’ll be a live evening demonstration event of this art form.

Vaujany shares its ski area with ski resort giant Alpe d’Huez in the French Alps.
