Overview

Accueil » Stations » Les Orres

Nestled in the Hautes-Alpes, Les Orres resort stretches between 1,650 and 2,700 metres altitude. It combines a warm atmosphere with a modern ski area and four-season facilities. In winter, 100km of slopes welcome skiers of all levels on a north-west-facing slope known for its natural snow cover. In summer, the resort becomes a hub for mountain biking and hiking, while retaining a family atmosphere thanks to its “Famille Plus” label. A genuine driver of diversification, the resort opened a Pôle Sport Innovation in 2023, unique in the region, with an indoor ski carpet, VR outdoor sports simulators, climbing walls and fitness spaces.

Overview of Les Orres

The resort consists of two main levels: Les Orres 1650, the historic heart with its timber-clad integrated resort look and shops, and Les Orres 1800 (Bois Mean) — more recent, offering modern chalet-style accommodation and direct slope access. The architecture blends tradition and modernity, with a predominance of local materials such as timber and stone, integrating the buildings harmoniously into the mountain landscape. Below, the village of Les Orres retains a marked authenticity, with its quiet lanes and mountain farms. Some hamlets have a panoramic view over the Lac de Serre-Poncon.
