Orelle is more of a base than a resort. There is one large apartment complex with a swimming pool, spa and restaurant plus some smaller ones and gites spread through the various hamlets but that is about it. However, for easy access, both in terms of driving there and for the slopes it is ideal. Not only can you match the time from Val Thorens to the upper slopes you can visit all the other resorts in the Maurienne valley very easily (at a much lower cost than the 3Vs). A snowy day in VT can be bleak, in La Norma in the trees it can be fun and half price.
- Accessibility to 1500km of skiing and no long trek up the mountains with snow chains
- Not for beginners and apres ski (just buy the beers and a box of red wine and solve the world's problems!)

Small resort
This ski resort is pretty small and was a bit too calm for us. Also, a quite long ride is needed to reach the ski resort by bus or car. However, for anyone looking for a calm and quiet ski resort, this is the perfect spot!

Tiny little resort with nothing much going on but great skiing on the doorstep!
We stayed in the Hameau des Eaux d'Orelle where there was enough going on to keep us and the kids busy - pool, spa, aquagym, etc - no kids club - which is a shame! The resort is tiny but if you're looking for complete calm, this is a great place to stay. It's an altitude AND culture shock when you take the lifts up in the morning - straight up to 3300m from about 900m and suddenly you are in the hugest ski area in the world after being in a miniscule resort! Nice walks with some pretty waterfalls and views...
- Fantastic skiing on the doorstep and low prices
- Very quiet village with no real apres ski
