Orelle ski holidays Skiing & snowboarding in Orelle and around Les 3 Vallées
Overview
Orelle is a popular choice for ski holidays as not only is it a beautiful traditional alpine village but it also provides direct access to Les 3 Vallées which includes world famous ski resorts such as Meribel and Courchevel.
The lift connected ski area is vast with some 600km of piste meaning there is plenty of terrain for all abilities from long cruising blues to some serious and challenging blacks.
For apre-ski, Orelle is more orientated towards relaxed evenings sampling the local cuisine in one of the superb restaurants. There are, as always, a handful of lively bars that get very busy at the end of the days skiing.

Our view on skiing in Orelle
Ski holidays in Orelle - we think it is one of the secrets of the Trois Vallees and a great choice for a ski or summer holiday. Rustic ski chalets together with the new developments combine perfectly in this quaint village providing a good range of accommodation.
