Excellent for families
If you are a beginner or intermediate, this station is excellent with 51 slopes and a lot of learning possibilities. My daughters and wife did major improvements in a week, and even me who is confirmed in ski managed to get some private lessons that were quite beneficial. Everything is walking distance, and you get free access to the pool and ice skating with the ski pass. We will be coming back every year!

Petit mais tres bien!
Well from my 'title' you can see that's my French done with! Orcieres is a small resort...on a good day you could complete it all in two!! But I found it to be pretty wonderful. I'm not a bad skier and I really enjoyed the week I had there. The range of blues and reds are good. The blacks are in small supply though. The chair lifts and button lifts are well organised and get you around the resort easily. Orciers is a very French resort...I don't think I heard another English voice when I was there...and that gave it more charm. The French love it and that's a good advert. A hidden 'charm'. The snow was excellent for me. Guess I was lucky! The views are tremendous too. The resort itself is quite basic...very purpose built and a little 'dull' but to be honest with the skiing it gave I won't complain.
