it was our first time at the Hameau des Airelles and we’re planning our return already! we stayed in a comfort 2 bed apartment. it was very clean and our view on the mountain was incredible. The Ski in/ Ski out is excellent. you can join a beautiful blue run down to a couple of lifts or take the button lift just outside the door. there are great restaurants, après ski bars just outside the door, and the best boulangerie/ pâtisserie in town. Our apartment was warm and comfortable, the kitchen was well equipped. the entertainment, the kids club and games available at reception were a great bonus. we didn’t have time to try the pool, but it looked very inviting. the staff were all friendly and happy.

Amazing location. The owners and staff were friendly, professional, and answered all our questions. The bar was great, and the breakfast buffet was one of the best we've had. I hope we can go back to Briancon in the near future because it's so beautiful, and we'll certainly stay here.

Best place in Via Lattea for ski beginners, plenty of short and long green pistes. Great ski school instructors. But not very charming and lack of entertainment options for adults and kids. Restaurants are just ok. No real food options after 3pm, bad for skiers especially those doing ski lessons at lunchtime. Ice skating venue was not operating which is bad during ski season. Great balneo and spa.

Les Orres 1800 is a nice little village, with many families with kids visiting in Summer. That is the period, when we rented, I do not know anything about the winter. It is nice for hiking, cross-country biking/ VTT, and if you drive the 25 minutes down the mountain, you have access to the great lake of Serres Poncon, where you can swim, rent boats, etc. Enough for a week of fun. At most places where you can take the lift, there are restaurants, where you can sit outside and enjoy lunch or dinner. Our favorite place was Le Refuge Etoile, where they have excellent food and service

This village has quite a few decent restaurants, also cafes and creperies. There's a large public parking area. The hotel was close to everything. No need to use a car. We were there for 4 nights, which was just about right for us. The pistes are all mostly intermediate and blue runs. So fun for me as I like to ski just cruising along stopping at mountain restaurants. The restaurant at the top of the Aravet Gondola has a great menu and entertainment. And perfectly placed for those who partied too much and didn't want to ski down.

The location is very good, however the apartment is very dated, some of the appliances do not work and the bath has no shower screen or curtain, I have stayed in Isola over the last 10 years and this was the worst I have stayed in, it is also very expensive but because of demand and location you have to pay the price. I feel that asking for an extra cleaning charge when you are paying 250 euros per night is just ridiculous. The bedding and towel charge is ok as all the apartments in Isola do this but I still think this is simply grabbing a bit more and made me dislike the approach from the owners , we brought our own in the end. At the end of the day, if you want to stay in the main part of Isola , this is what you have to put up with. The skiing was great !

Great skiing area, bigger than looks on the map with extensive safe off piste, in between pistes, around Clos Chardon and l'Homme de Pierre, and in trees everywhere down to the resort. The lifts are not all modern and the link to Vars is a bit of a complicated affair, but better when you come back. The ski on the Vars side is good too. Risoul snow front is good and practical with lifts going in all directions. No queues this weekend in January but that wasn't during school holidays. The resort is quite souless being mainly blocks of flat, and the restaurant scene is very low standard. Possibly the worst I have experienced in a ski resort. Limited number of restaurants, Booking is imperative. Food is uninspiring and stodgy. But Risoul is not a high-standard resort. At the same time, the skilifts passes are quite expensive. I'd suggest to go there for the great ski only, rent a place for four days and cook your fine food yourself!

Great range of restaurants and shops with normal town prices rather than ski station premium rates. If you want rowdy aprez ski then Briancon is not the place. Bus service up and down the ski valley is reliable in morning and afternoon but less so during lunchtime and evening.

Overall Experience:

Overall Experience: I had a fantastic time at Les Orres ski resort! As a beginner skier, I found the slopes to be perfect for my level. There were plenty of wide, gentle slopes to practice on, and the instructors were very patient and helpful. Slopes: Les Orres has a great variety of slopes for all levels, from beginners to experts. The beginner slopes are located in the lower part of the resort, and they are wide and gentle, perfect for learning to ski or snowboard. There are also a number of green and blue runs that are perfect for intermediate skiers. For more experienced skiers, there are a number of black runs and off-piste areas to explore. Lifts: The lifts at Les Orres are modern and efficient, and they quickly get you to the top of the slopes. There are a number of different types of lifts, including chairlifts, gondolas, and drag lifts. The lifts are well-maintained and operate smoothly. Infrastructure: Les Orres has a great infrastructure, with a wide range of shops, restaurants, and bars. There are also a number of other facilities, such as a swimming pool, a spa, and a cinema. The resort is very well-maintained and everything is clean and tidy. Atmosphere: Les Orres has a very friendly and welcoming atmosphere. The staff are all very helpful and friendly, and they go out of their way to make sure you have a great time. The resort is very family-friendly, and there are plenty of activities for children. Recommendation: I would highly recommend Les Orres ski resort to anyone looking for a great skiing holiday. The resort is perfect for all levels of skiers, and it has a great atmosphere. Additional Information: I would also mention that Les Orres is very affordable, and it is a great value for money.

This is a great resort for families.

This is a great resort for families. Access to the slopes is very easy (a few steps away) and a free bus will take you to any of the neighbouring ski lifts. We were particularly impressed by the Pontillas gondola (five minutes on the bus) as it takes you up very high to an incredible, long and wide green run which is right next to some blues. This was perfect for us as one of us is a beginner but the other two were ready for something a bit more adventurous. It is great to see such a great green run so high up. If there are any issues with snow down the bottom of the mountains, it tends to be the greens that suffer. The Pontillas is brand new so doesn't yet have a restaurant or facilities up there but we were warned in advance so it wasn't a problem. There is a lovely little restaurant at the bottom, called Chalet du Lac. Beginners can purchase a debutant ticket for 18 Euros which gets you up there for as long as you want and then back again. We found all the ski staff to be very polite and friendly which was lovely after experiencing unpleasantness in Bulgaria. Being a smaller town, we also loved how quiet it was. We barely queued at all while we were there.
