Want to enjoy the mountains in a different way? Cross-country ski rental in Orcières Merlette opens the door to a luminous setting in the heart of the Hautes-Alpes, at the gateway to the Ecrins National Park. Here, the altitude and generous sunshine make for ideal days of gentle gliding, with the family or for a sporting outing.

Around the hamlet of Prapic and along the Drac river, you'll alternate between clearings and larch forests, with green, blue and red loops for classic or skating. Panoramic views of the Champsaur peaks set the pace, and the mountain villages invite you to take a gourmet break between two laps.
