Les Ribes is a mountain hamlet in the commune of Les Orres, in the Hautes-Alpes. The landscape alternates between forests, alpine pastures and slopes overlooking the Durance Valley. Les Orres resort mainly attracts mountain sports enthusiasts: skiing and snow activities in winter, and walking and cycling when the trails are accessible again. The hamlet is quieter than the ski area, with open views of the surrounding mountains.

Les Orres ski resort is 3 km away, with access to the slopes and ski lifts. The Musée Orrian, 1.5 km away, presents aspects of local history and mountain life. Écrins National Park, 5 km away, opens onto protected landscapes, hiking routes and Alpine wildlife. For a more panoramic outing, the Les Orres viewpoint offers views of the surrounding mountains. Embrun, 8 km away, has a railway station and an old town dominated by Notre-Dame-du-Réal Cathedral.

In winter, you can split your days between the slopes and a break in the valley; the snow and altitude set the pace of your stay. In fine weather, bring suitable footwear for the trails and clothing for changing mountain temperatures. A trip to Embrun lets you discover its heritage and the shores of Lake Serre-Ponçon. The landscapes of the Écrins are suited to day trips on foot or by bike, depending on the season and conditions at altitude.
