Les Orres
About the area
Les Orres, in the French Southern Alps, has 53.65 km of pistes: 14.35 km green, 8.83 km blue, 25.38 km red and 5.09 km black. Green and blue account for 43% of the network (23 km), and with six magic carpets and 10 short easy runs next to a lift base, it is a straightforward place to learn. Reds are the largest share, so intermediates get the most mileage. Experts will find less: 5 km of black terrain (10%), and the longest vertical on a single run is 757 m.
Twenty-one lifts serve the area: 7 chairlifts, 7 platters, one further drag lift and 6 magic carpets, so the learning zones are quick to reach. The skiing runs from 1553 m at the base to 2699 m at the top, a maximum vertical of 757 m, and the longest single descent measures 3518 m.
