Alpine ski area — Le Col d’Ornon

Located at the gateway to the Ecrins National Park, the Col d’Ornon ski area is a village resort that has preserved a convivial and authentic atmosphere. Positioned directly on the pass at 1,350 metres altitude, the resort offers ski-in ski-out access to an alpine ski area particularly well suited to families and beginner skiers. The ski area ranges from 1,350 to 2,000 metres altitude and has 8 runs (4 green, 1 blue, 2 red and 1 ungroomed black run for the more experienced). This configuration makes it a privileged learning destination, far from the crowds of large ski areas. The ski area is served by 4 drag lifts and has two specific beginner zones: one at the ski area base for first-time sliding, and a second Kid Park at altitude allowing novices to benefit from an exceptional panorama while practising. The ski area’s main asset is its preserved natural environment, with runs through fir forests. Snow quality is good and complemented if needed by snowmaking. The resort also offers night skiing on an illuminated run — an experience appreciated by young and old alike.
