Forecast today: Generally clear
- Max temp: 18.6 °c
- Min temp: 6.2 °c
- Last snowed: Sun 22 Mar
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 24/03
What must be the first Nordstau event of the year hits the Alps over the course of this week, bringing a return to winter conditions across much of the Northern French Alps. The freezing line will decline through the middle of this week, dropping close to sea level overnight Thursday into Friday.
At the same time, northerly unsettled conditions working their way in across Central and Eastern Europe brings snowfall to many areas north of the Briancon-Gap line. Over higher ground this could see as much as a foot-and-a-half through Wednesday evening and into Thursday; as the freezing line declines over this period, snow will work its way down to lower elevations, but the best conditions will remain above 2,000m.
A brief pause in the snowfall over Saturday still sees cloudy conditions dominating; a few more flurries move in over higher ground on Sunday, as the freezing line recovers to around 2,000m. The long term forecast then calls for sun and fine, dry and bright conditions to dominate as high pressure returns to the area.
