Skiing in Les Orres
This friendly, purpose-built family resort is ideal for sport lovers and sun seekers. It has over 100km of pistes and a surprisingly varied range of skiing with something for everybody.
Beginners and intermediates are particularly well suited. Many nursery slopes are at altitude, giving beginners good snow conditions. Wide, gentle blues and well-designed lift system help keen learners progress smoothly.
Experts are not spoilt for choice but there's some terrific off piste and 3 blacks, one of which covers virtually the whole mountain, top to bottom.
Les Orres is a charming Savoyard village with plenty of shops, restaurants and bars. The resort is quite lively but not rowdy, good for families and couples with excellent modern facilities and a friendly, relaxed atmosphere.

Les Orres, 95% red -
13/03/2016
The greens are like blues elsewhere, the other blues and greens are roads (roads are not pistes in my book), so in fact there is one blue, from mountain mid point where the chair lifts terminate, to the station. Everything else is either red or would be graded red elsewhere. Don't forget, this resort has the steepest run in the European cup circuit and this tells you how steep the flank of the mountain all the pistes are on is.
Apres Ski: 2/5
