Want to discover the mountains in a different way? A cross-country ski rental in Les Orres opens the doors to a luminous Southern Alps setting, with larch forests, hushed silence and superb views over Lac de Serre-Ponçon. Whether you're a beginner in alternating or a skating enthusiast, the Nordic routes in the area can be adapted to suit every pace, from family tours to more invigorating loops.

The climate in the Hautes-Alpes is often sunny. The cooler mornings offer fast, well-groomed runs, perfect for working on your glide. After a snowfall, aim for clear tracks the following morning. If it's windy, opt for more sheltered runs in the undergrowth. In the depths of winter, snow cover is generally regular, thanks to the altitude of the resort. In spring, the snow becomes softer in the afternoon: set off early, then enjoy the golden light at the end of the day for an easy final loop.
