A great opportunity to enjoy both skiing and après-ski — without needing a car!
The connection to Val Thorens is open daily from 9:00 am to 4:30 pm during the winter season.
You’re also near many Maurienne resorts: Valmeinier (20 min), Valloire (30 min), Les Karellis (30 min), Val Cenis (40 min), and more.
Outdoor amenities for the summer:
Relax in our outdoor space during the summer, where a bright sunroom awaits you. Enjoy the large table to share meals with family or friends, and savor delicious grilled dishes thanks to the barbecue available for your use. Next to the accommodation, a traditional bread oven offers you a unique and friendly culinary experience. Everything is in place for warm and tasty moments in the open air!
Summer Activities: Cycling, Hiking & Nature:
Maurienne is the world’s largest cycling destination, with over 1,600 km of marked routes and legendary Alpine passes like Galibier, Télégraphe, Croix-de-Fer, Iseran, and Madeleine. Orelle is an ideal base for both road and mountain biking.
Nature lovers will enjoy the Vanoise National Park with its trails, lakes, and wildlife. Families will find activities like via ferrata, lakeside swimming, adventure parks, festivals, and local markets.
In summer (July and August), the connection to Val Thorens is open only on Tuesdays, from 9:00 am to 4:30 pm. Outside the winter and summer seasons, the gondola remains closed.
