Visitor Reviews of Les Orres

George Dowty from UNITED KINGDOM writes:

This little known resort in southern Alps offers some really excellent skiing. The are are some challenging reds and blacks due to steepness of the terrain. Many runs are through the treeline giving them character. We also enjoyed some excellent off piste powder. The mountain restuarant is exceptionally good. Les Orres was uncrowded - not one lift queue - and one of the best kept secrets of the Alps.
