​​​​​​​Skiing holiday in Orcières Merlette 1850

This year, you fancy an original skiing destination, and to swap the Northern Alps for the Savoie or Haute-Savoie? Head for the Southern Alps to combine snow and sun! The Residence Étoiles d'Orion*** offers a pied-à-terre in the resort of Orcières Merlette 1850.

A ski area with a difference in altitude of almost 1000 m from the foot of the slopes and the highest point, 50 slopes, a snow park, a slalom... all in a resort designed for families. You certainly won't have any reason to be bored! Orcières strikes the perfect balance between beautiful mountains and a touch of Mediterranean climate, offering enough sunshine to warm your heart... but without melting the snow too much!

The Residence Étoiles d'Orion***: everything nearby, with no effort required

The holiday home enjoys a prime location, with shops and businesses just 200 m away and the city centre 400 m away. How's that for proximity? Still not satisfied?

The Orcières Merlette 1850 ski resort: skiing, but that's not all!

Orcières Merlette 1850 comprises 100 km of downhill skiing spread across around 50 runs to suit all levels, a snow park for the more adventurous (will you try a backflip or a 360°?), a slalom stadium, a boarder-cross course, but also a playful run for the little ones who are learning to slide on the snow

A drop-in centre welcomes little ones from 3 months to 6 years old: an opportunity for the grown-ups to enjoy their activities without worrying about the kids straggling behind!

If you're tired of downhill skiing, you'll have plenty of other things to do! The Orcières ski resort will have some great surprises in store for you. It also offers 40 km of cross-country ski trails for those looking for another way to break a sweat! Not forgetting 2 toboggan runs, snowshoeing, ice karting... and even snow tubing! Your children will be delighted: you may hear them asking: "When are we coming back? »

Orcières Merlette 1850 in summer: fill up on activities

Sunshine, beautiful walks in the mountain pastures, a good breath of fresh air at altitude - choose the mountains in the summer time! Summer in the mountains, and more particularly in the Southern Alps, is an opportunity to spend a holiday away from the crowds that flock to the Mediterranean Sea or the Atlantic coast.

You can take advantage of this opportunity to try our activities that you may not be accustomed to: how about a horse ride?

For hikers, Orcières will amaze you with its variety of choice: the resort is surrounded by the Ecrins National Park, and the Valgaudemar and Champsaur valleys. It's a hiking paradise! Combining sunshine and the cool of the forest, beautiful day trips will allow you to get closer to the iconic wildlife of the Alps.

Will you be lucky enough to spot a marmot or a chamois? You can also pay a visit to the leisure park to keep the kids happy: on the menu - a bouncy castle, ball pool, and even a trampoline trampoline. Summer in the mountains, in the Southern Alps, is an opportunity to spend a holiday away from the crowds that flock to the Mediterranean Sea or the Atlantic coast.

Packed your cases yet? Time to set off for the Residence Étoiles d'Orion***!
