About Les Orres
Les Orres is a ski resort in the Hautes-Alpes, in a commune that rises from about 1,200 metres to just over 2,900. Only around 500 people live there, so the resort is the point of the place. The homes are in one tight cluster. They are compact: the typical one has a single bedroom but sleeps about six, none has a garden, and a few have a sauna or a private pool. Embrun, 14 minutes down the road by car, is a town on an alluvial terrace in the Durance valley with a 12th-century cathedral, and Lac de Serre-Ponçon borders it.
