Francoz's Breakaway

The peaks of the 3 Valleys and their 600 km of slopes in a few minutes by free shuttle and ski lift, without the price or the mountain road. Studio 26m² for 5, private balcony with view of the peaks, in a 3* residence with heated indoor swimming pool, sauna, hammam and jacuzzi included. Motorway/tunnel exit 5 minutes away: avoid the long hairpin bends. In winter, Val Thorens and the Cime Caron (3,200 m). In summer, the mythical Maurienne passes and the Vanoise Park on a hike/bike.

A 26 m² studio designed for five, where every metre is optimised.

Sleeping: a double sofa bed (200x160cm) in the living room and three bunk beds in an alcove (single beds 190x90cm), mountain size: perfect for children or tired skiers.PGJyPgPGJyPg
Equipped kitchen: hob, microwave, fridge, dishwasher, Senseo coffee maker + French press, kettle and raclette machine and fondue pot, because you don't come in from the slopes to eat pasta.

PGJyPgBathroom with bathtub, toilet, and real storage for bags and equipment. Private balcony with mountain view. Sheets and towels provided in kits (beds not made on arrival).

In the residence: heated indoor swimming pool, sauna, hammam and jacuzzi, access included in your stay (opening depending on the season). Grocery, restaurant and laundry on site. Free parking nearby. Wifi at the reception of the residence.

The free shuttle drops you off in 5 minutes at the Orelle gondola, the gateway to the largest ski area in the world: 600 km of slopes, 85% of which are above 1,800 m. It runs all day during the season, with an increased frequency during the school holidays.

From the gondola, allow about twenty minutes of lifts to switch to Val Thorens and reach the Cime Caron at 3,200 m: one of the highest accessible peaks in the Alps, with its panoramic rooftop up to the Italian peaks. From there, the entire area opens up: Val Thorens, Les Menuires, Méribel, Courchevel.

Orelle's good plan: you ski in the same area as the mountain resorts, but sleeping in peace, with local products at local prices. You arrive by motorway, the exit is five minutes away: NO TRAFFIC JAM ON SATURDAYS.

Winter season 2026-2027: from 21 November 2026 to 2 May 2027.

The Maurienne is officially the largest cycling area in the world: the Galibier, the Télégraphe, the Croix-de-Fer, the Iseran, the Madeleine — all from or within reach of Orelle, on the road or by mountain bike.

On the hiking side, the Vanoise National Park is nearby: marked trails, high-altitude lakes, marmots and ibex. With the family: via ferrata, swimming in the lake, adventure parks, markets and valley festivals.

The gondolas also open in summer (dates and days vary depending on the year, check before booking): ascent to Plan Bouchet 2,300 m for hiking and mountain biking, and to the Cime Caron 3,200 m.
