Hiking in Les Orres means :

• 200 km of trails
• 32 marked itineraries
• An altitude difference of 15 to 1300 m

Hiking trails can start from the Chef-lieu des Orres, the 1650 resort or the 1800 resort. You'll be able to hike along pretty trails without too much change in altitude: the Pont la Planche loop (starting from the hamlet of Les Ribes), the Grand Clos hillside lake (starting from Les Orres 1650) or the small loop of the Lou Pastre trail (starting from Les Orres1650).

Want to stroll beneath the summits or breathe deeply on the ridges without too much effort? Take the ski lifts! 3 chairlifts give you the chance to explore the mountain at the same time. Enjoy a breathtaking panorama on the Le Belvédère ride (Pousterle chairlift) or descend to Lac de Sainte Marguerite (Pousterle chairlift), Les Orres' signature hike. The latter requires a little more effort for smaller calves!

💡 Good deal: the multi-activity pass for free use of the ski lifts as a pedestrian

DISCOVER THE BIKE PARK

Looking for the perfect spot to escape the summer heat? Lac de Serre-Ponçon is your cool ally. Turquoise water at 23°C, wild creeks, a gentle breeze that caresses the skin... Welcome to one of the most beautiful lakes in the Alps. After a morning on the trails of Les Orres, what could be better than a well-deserved dip in this natural gem? Space, peace and quiet, and a truly relaxing interlude between mountains and crystal-clear water. Lac de Serre-Ponçon and the Embrun lake are ideal spots for a family day out. Spread out your towel on a small beach, bring out your picnic (and why not an ice cream?), and enjoy the moment in a postcard setting.

For explorers, there are a thousand ways to enjoy the lake: aqua park, paddle, kayak, towed buoys, wake board, boat trip...

Do you like it rough? When it splashes? When the adrenalin kicks in and the smile goes up? Then why not embark on a rafting or kayaking trip down the Guil or the Durance, two mythical rivers in the Hautes-Alpes. For the more adventurous, hydrospeed or canyoning? Dive straight into the heart of the torrent, equipped with a wetsuit and float, and let the river carry you along. Thrills guaranteed! If you prefer a more contemplative version, why not try an inflatable canoe, more playful and maneuverable, ideal for savoring every current?
