Forecast today: Heavy rain/snow
- Max temp: 3.9 °c
- Min temp: -0.5 °c
- Last snowed: Thu 19 Feb
The 100km of slopes fan out from the three base villages on a northwest facing, wooded slope that reaches 2720m in altitude.
This is helpful as the location in the French Southern Alps means that snow reliability is not quite as good as further north, although snowmaking has improved things in recent years. Four fast 6-seater chairs serve the majority of the resort’s runs, which are mostly rated red, although there are also some good long green runs to make this a great resort for beginner progression. The best run has to be the long, winding Grand’cabane, which drops 900m down a quiet valley at the resort’s southern end.
Of the three bases, Les Orres 1650 and 1800 are the biggest and have the widest variety of accommodation, bars and restaurants. Most apartment blocks and chalets are well located right at the foot of the slopes, making most very convenient places to stay. Both tend to be fairly quiet at night, but there are some decent restaurants to choose from. Getting here requires a long 3.5 hour transfer from either Nice or Lyon, but this does mean that the resort rarely suffers from huge queues, even at peak times.

Snow Overview
France
Updated 10/03
Warm conditions continue to dominate across the French Alps over the course of this week, as the freezing line remains up around 2,000m. Cloud will bring with it a few flurries of snowfall over upper elevations above this limit, with a crescendo of around 5cm falling on Wednesday night into Thursday morning.
Unsettled weather than moved in as the weekend begins, causing the freezing line to drop and good snowfall to come to many slopes on Saturday afternoon. The freezing point will drop to below 1,000m overnight Saturday night and Sunday night, before rising to around 2,000m in the midday sun (such as it is with a layer of cloud in play). Around 20cm of snowfall will land over Friday evening and most of Saturday and, thanks to the downward trend of temperatures, will reach most slopes.
Looking ahead, the freezing line remains low overnight as we return to more of a spring-like freeze-thaw cycle. A dash of sunshine can be expected early next week before more snowy conditions move in.
