Orelle (France)
Hidden behind Val Thorens and the famous summit, La Cime de Caron (at 3200 meters), is the small village of Orelle. Unlike neighboring villages, Orelle has kept its characteristic mountain village atmosphere and offers only authentic accommodation. The ski resort of Val Thorens and the whole of the 3 Vallées ski area can be reached by cable car in less than 30 minutes. Keep in mind the schedule for the 3 Vallées Express cable car because there are no return slopes to Orelle!
