Orelle - Reviews & Ratings

Great place to visit if there is a powder day, very long sections of off piste which you can do laps on top to bottom. Easily accessible from VT and the rest of the 3 valleys

Amazing off-piste skiing with descents facing different ways so there's always powder somewhere! Well worth the small price tag for a days skiing.

Orelle is a small, very French resort which has access links to the three valleys. An amazing little resort with a big benefit of accessing Val thorens and the rest of the three valleys. Accommodation wise theres limited choice but with regular shuttles from the residence to the gondola this isnt a problem. Nightlife is very limited but for the avid skier who wants to get up and go, its the perfect compromise. Flying into Turin and hiring a car is the best option from the uk 1h35m drive. Lyon is 2h35m as a comparison.

Not a ski resort but a valley town with a big gondola link into the 3 Valleys system. Literally nothing to do other than ski, no shops, one bar, no restaurants. Lift is efficient but only starts at 9 so skiing actually starts at 9.30/45 and you have to be back over the ridge in Orelle before 4 or else you won't get back meaning it's a fairly short ski day. Stay in one of the main 3V resorts unless your on the tightest of budgets.
