Les Orres looks out over the great turquoise reservoir of Serre-Ponçon from larch-covered slopes in the Embrunais, one of the sunniest pockets of the French Alps. Its 100 km of piste run from a gentle, sheltered base area up to the 2720 m Pic de Boussolenc, mixing forest cruisers with open, snow-sure terrain higher up. Low-key and good value, it draws Provençal families and weekenders who pair skiing with the dramatic lake scenery below.
