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 02/05
Warm temperatures start the weekend, with the freezing line hitting 4,000m during the midday sun on Friday. This will fall, however, over the course of the long weekend, eventually hitting 2,000m on Monday evening and staying low throughout the new week.
Cloud will dominate this weekend, and with it will come precipitation. This will begin as rain on Saturday, but as things turn cooler this will turn to snow, with around 5cm falling across the region over Sunday evening, Monday and throughout Tuesday; this will fall on higher ground only as the freezing line remains on or just above 2,000m. High pressure returns in the middle of the week with plenty of fine, dry and bright conditions
Thus concludes this season’s snow overviews; thank you to everyone who has read them this season, and we look forward to seeing you again next year!
