En partie recouvert de panneaux solaires, le plus grand tapis Préclaux dessert quant à lui l’espace débutant ainsi que la piste verte des Marmottes qui permet de glisser jusqu’aux Orres 1650. Une aire de jeux pour les tout-petits complète l’offre.

During the summer season, Les Orres resort is transformed into an exceptional Bike Park. The No. 1 bike park in the Southern Alps and ranked No. 3 in France, it accommodates downhill and enduro MTB enthusiasts, irrespective of level. The Bike Park starts at an altitude of 1,600 m, rising to 2,600 m and is represented by its ambassador, Anne-Caroline CHAUSSON, who holds multiple MTB world championship titles and is also the 1st female Olympic champion in the history of BMX.
Having hosted the French Enduro Series for 5 years and the European Enduro Series in 2018, the resort of LES ORRES was again chosen to host the 5th round of the 2019 Enduro World Series which took place on the 6th and 7th July 2019. The EWS brought together more than 400 international riders, from 43 different countries, more than 4,000 French, international, local and regional visitors and more than 150 members of staff.
DH (or Downhill mountain biking) is also the focus of competitions. The resort has already hosted a round of the French Cup, held in 2009 and the route used for the occasion was later developed to create the iconic Coupe de France run, a black, highly technical trail. A round of the 2020 Cup will once again be held in Les Orres, in a Bike Park enriched by previous experiences and constant investments aimed at improving the riding experience and the safety of all users. Next step: to host a DH World Cup in the next few years!
