Nestled in the sun-drenched mountains of the Southern Alps, an Orcières ski holiday packs together a mountain primed for big bluebird days, with just as fantastic skiing. Bring on the sun!
With 100km of pistes geared more towards intermediates, regular skiers looking to put their mark on some new terrain will enjoy this unappreciated French gem.
Whether you’re warming up in the morning or closing out the day on the setting sun, the panoramic blues from Lac Des Estaris and La Drouvet are a true highlight of the Orcières ski resort. And if you want more than just a bit of skiing then get your fill with either of the tobogganing, cross-country skiing and ice skating on offer in the resort.
