Looking for unrestricted skiing during your stay? Renting a snowboard in Les Orres is the ideal way to enjoy a varied ski area surrounded by larch trees and overlooking Lake Serre-Ponçon. Here, the slopes alternate wide boulevards for gentle progress and passages in the undergrowth to play with the relief. The panoramic view of the Hautes-Alpes peaks adds that little thrill that makes you want to go for another ride.

The weather in Les Orres, typical of the Southern Alps, combines sunshine and cold high altitudes in the middle of winter. From December to March, mornings are often crisp: perfect for precise carving. After a snowfall, aim early in the morning for light carving; in spring, prefer shady slopes at the end of the day, where the snow stays firmer. If it's windy at higher altitudes, the forest sectors offer a more sheltered glide.
