LES ORRES | 1650 - 2770 m
Overhanging the Durance valley and Serre-Ponçon lake is the village of Les Orres, surrounded by larch trees. Les Orres is also both an innovative resort -with the latest in sliding infrastructure and its remarkable snow park- and a safety-oriented resort that promotes safety awareness among its mountain sport enthusiasts.
 
In fact, the only thing missing in this southern Alps resort is an architecture worthy of the services provided and of its location. Les Orres  ski resort special negotiated prices
