ABOUT LES ORRES
Les Orres is a French commune located in the Hautes-Alpes, in the heart of the Provence-Alpes-Côte d’Azur region. It is home to two winter sports resorts: Les Orres 1650 and Les Orres 1800. Although modern and well-equipped, the resort has managed to preserve its natural, authentic charm, offering an ideal setting to fully enjoy the mountains.
The ski area is located above the Serre-Ponçon lake and offers stunning panoramic views of the Écrins National Park and the Parpaillon Massif.
ABOUT THE SKI AREA
The Les Orres ski area covers 100 kilometres of slopes, spread across 35 runs throughout the resort, including 9 green, 4 blue, 18 red, and 4 black slopes. A snowpark is also available, offering a fun and playful experience suitable for all levels!
Facing north–northwest and reaching an altitude of up to 2,800 m, the ski area ensures excellent snow conditions and plenty of sunshine throughout the season.
Known for its sporty character thanks to significant vertical drops and technical runs such as the Pousterle slope, the Les Orres ski area is also perfectly suited to beginner skiers.
