Hôtel Les Écrins

The five room categories offer several layouts for couples, families and friends. The twin and double rooms accommodate two people, while one triple room has three single beds. The quadruple and family categories sleep four and five people respectively, with single, double or bunk beds depending on the layout. All rooms are 19 m² and have mountain views.

Every category has a private bathroom, a flat-screen TV and a desk. The bathroom has a shower or bath, toiletries and a hairdryer. The rooms are heated and carpeted, and the upper floors are accessible by lift. The main difference between categories is the number of guests they accommodate and the bed layout. Families can choose a room designed for several people, while couples can opt for two single beds or one double bed.

Les Orres is a mountain resort in the Hautes-Alpes, above the Durance valley and Lake Serre-Ponçon. The landscape combines larch forests, alpine meadows and mountain peaks, with resort life centred around the slopes and hamlets. The Centre Station area is pedestrianised and brings together access to the ski lifts, guest services and activities. The location suits guests coming to ski in winter as well as those looking for hiking trails and summer views.

The slopes at Les Orres resort shape winter days, while trails and mountain paths draw walkers in warmer weather. The Belvédère des Orres offers views of the surrounding mountains, and the Musée Orrian introduces visitors to local history and life. Écrins National Park stretches across the region’s mountains and is well suited to excursions in the great outdoors. Embrun, 9 km away, offers another stop, with its old town and cathedral. Embrun railway station serves the valley; the rest of the journey to the resort is by road.

Winter is the season for snow sports, with skiing generally running from December to April, depending on snow conditions. In summer, the days are suited to walking, mountain biking and trips to the shores of Lake Serre-Ponçon. Pack clothing suitable for changing temperatures at altitude, even during sunny months. You could start the day by taking the ski lifts and going for a walk at higher elevation, then visit Embrun or head towards the lake. The terrain and weather determine the pace of your excursions; a car makes it easier to travel between the valley and the different mountain areas.
