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!

This low-key ski resort is for serious skiers who don’t want to pay the high prices in the neighbouring world-famous ski resorts or change for dinner every night, but who do want to have access to the endless ski slopes in the world’s largest ski area!...

It’s the largest ski area in the world and one of the most beloved ski areas in the Alps, but that’s no reason to sit back on your laurels!
