Orcières lies in the Hautes-Alpes, among mountain hamlets, alpine pastures and the peaks of the Écrins massif. Le Gite Du Bois De L'ours is in Les Plautus, an area popular for its alpine scenery and outdoor activities. The village and resort attract ski enthusiasts in winter, while warmer weather brings access to hiking trails and cycling routes. The setting suits families and travellers who want to alternate mountain outings with time to relax.

Orcières Merlette resort, 2.6 km away, has ski lifts and mountain activities. The Soleil cable car is 460 m away, while Parc animalier du Creuset offers an outing focused on local wildlife. Écrins National Park extends across the surrounding area, with high mountain scenery, valleys and trails. Orcières-Merlette bus station, 890 m away, provides public transport access; a car can be useful for exploring the hamlets and trailheads.

In winter, days revolve around skiing and snow-covered scenery; the season depends on snow conditions at altitude. In spring and summer, trails provide a way to discover the alpine pastures and views across the Écrins, with routes to suit different levels. Autumn brings a quieter atmosphere and changing colours on the slopes. Pack clothing suited to temperature changes in the mountains, even when the days are sunny.
