Les 3 Vallées
from 06/12/2025 to 17/04/2026
Orelle, a small mountain village made up of 10 undeniably charming hamlets, nestled in the heart of the Maurienne valley, is an integral part of the 3 Vallées.
The hamlets offer the calm and tranquility of mountain villages, with the essential shops for a stay with peace of mind.
Village and ski area are connected by the Orelle gondola.
In just 13 minutes, you are on the largest ski area in the world and 7 additional minutes will take you to the Cime Caron, mythical summit between Maurienne and Tarentaise.
Comfortable cabins, 10 seats, fully glazed for a breathtaking view: in Orelle, the journey begins upon boarding...
Under the benevolent gaze of the Cime Caron and the Pointe du Bouchet, Orelle offers 9 runs, 5 of which are naturally snow-covered. The superb Lory track, more than 4km long, is free of any ski lifts!
Orelle the natural? Orelle the wild? Orelle the discreet? It’s in any case the most secret of the 3 Vallées.

Guaranteed skiing in Les 3 Vallées
Les 3 Vallées guarantee the largest number of interconnected slopes in Europe all season long.
From November, thanks to their natural qualities and regular artificial snowmaking (2,300 snowmakers covering more than 50% of the ski area), Les 3 Vallées can guarantee snow cover in a ski area which is maintained every night by 70 grooming machines.
The slopes of the 3 Valleys are located at an altitude between 1,100m and 3,230m and 85% of the ski area is above 1,800m. The ability to produce snow, the altitude of the entire ski area and the inter-Valley links, which are all above 2,000m, guarantee snow cover throughout the winter season from November and December!
