Orcieres is a paradise for children and an ideal resort for family holidays. Opposite the Ecrins National Park which towers to a height of 4000 m, Orcieres offers the convivial atmosphere of a resort-village under the blue sky and sun of the southern Alps...

Orcières - Ski

Orcieres is known for having a well linked system of more than 100 km of pistes, with 29 ski lifts, 30 snow cannons and 50 pistes for cross-country skiing. Take the chair lift from the resort up to 2200m and ski back down to the village on either blue or red runs. For snowboarders there is a high altitude snowpark, fully equipped with a sound system!
