The Skiers' Guide to Les Orres

Les Orres is a fantastic resort ! It’s on the smaller side compared to the rest of the Haut Alpes but it provides everything one could want from a five day ski holiday. The slopes are well maintained even in tough conditions and the staff and ski patrol are of the highest standards. The nearest town of Embrun has lovely bars and restaurant options.

We took a school ski trip and found it perfect for this. We had beginners and intermediate skiers and there were plenty of runs for everyone. The ski instructors were friendly and knowledgeable. Everyone - students and staff - had a fabulous week!

Great weak at Les Orres! My partner hadn't been on skis since he was a teen, and what a great place to get back into it! Lots of food and drink options, beautiful slopes, incredible landscapes, but not too big, still has a cosy familiar vibe!

Les Orres is a beautiful place to Ski ! I have been two years in a row and find that as a smaller resort it doesn’t get to overcrowded. I also think it has enough variety of slopes to keep you interested without feeling overwhelmed!

Les Orres is a real gem. Not easy to get to but worth it. The slopes are very well groomed and North facing. They are pretty steep with a good variety for most levels. There are bars and cafes but it's not club land. More sport based.
