Les Orres, Alpine ski resort in Hautes-Alpes, France.
Located at an elevation of 1,460 meters in southeastern France, Les Orres features 38 skiing runs extending over 100 kilometers of slopes.
The winter sports resort opened in the 1970s, transforming this mountain commune into a destination for outdoor recreation in the Parpaillon Massif.
The Rural Museum, established in 1999, presents mountain life through exhibits of traditional furniture, costumes, tools, and historical manuscripts.
The resort accommodates 14,800 visitors with slopes operating from December through April, while summer activities include mountain biking on converted ski trails.
The architectural design by Jean-Michel Legrand earned the resort center recognition as part of the 20th Century Heritage classification.

The French Alps encompass several hundred kilometers of ski slopes spread across various mountain ranges. Ski areas such as the Three Valleys, linking Courchevel, Meribel, and Val Thorens, or Paradiski, connecting La Plagne and Les Arcs, provide extensive networks suitable for both beginners and experienced skiers. In Chamonix, the Mont Blanc massif offers technical descents, while high-altitude resorts like Tignes and Les Deux Alpes ensure snow cover thanks to their glaciers. Facilities include efficient ski lifts and simplified access from the valleys. Some resorts like Avoriaz stand out for their car-free organization, while others like Val d'Isère and Alpe d'Huez attract skiers with their significant elevation changes and long runs. These destinations enable winter sports from December to April, with opportunities for summer skiing on certain glaciers.
