Two chondola lifts and a fast six-seater rise out of the main base village, accessing a wide bowl filled with blues to skiers left and reds to skiers right.

Many of these are equipped with snowmaking to counterbalance the sunny, south-facing aspect. The high-altitude slopes off Le Drouvet reach higher than 2700m and in good conditions offer up some great, underrated off piste terrain.

Unfortunately, none of the slopes are located within the tree-line, so the resort can be a little bleak in bad weather. The village of Orcières itself is located at 1450m and has some limited accommodation. Instead, basing yourself up in the purpose-built village at Merlette will ensure reliable snow, maximum convenience and access to the resort’s best bars and restaurants.

Here, there’s good value apartment accommodation and many are slopeside, enabling you to ski in and out of your door each day. The small airport in Grenoble is around two hours away, or Lyon is a three hour drive.

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!
