Les Orres
Set high up in the French Alps, Les Orres is a beautiful spot whatever the season. In summer its stunning mountain scenery hosts our famous adventure trips, where you can try your hand at via ferrata, climbing, abseiling, mountain biking, white-water rafting, jungle park and hiking – not to mention swimming in an open-air pool with the most incredible views. In winter the village transforms into a snowy wonderland that’s a brilliant place to learn to ski or develop your technique. You’re guaranteed wide open spaces, fresh mountain air and stunning Alpine scenery – we love Les Orres!

Montgenèvre
Montgenèvre – the oldest ski resort in France – has a special place in our hearts as it’s the place where our MD Dany Duncan set up his first ski company back in 1996. With a staggering 400km of runs reached by a network of 70 ski lifts, the village has something for everyone, whether you’re a beginner or an old hand. We love it so much we come back in summer for mountain biking, rafting, canyoning, hiking and climbing. Monty is always a winner.

SERRE CHEVALIER
We love skiing in Serre Che for loads of reasons, not least because of its phenomenal ski area. There are loads of easy runs for beginners, plenty of cruising pistes for intermediates and masses of meaty challenges for experts. This ski resort is made up of a collection of pretty Alpine towns and villages that snake up the valley and all connect to the slopes. Our gorgeously warm and welcoming hotel can be found in the village of Villeneuve – it’s the perfect place to kick back and enjoy excellent food and après-ski.

Vars
The secret is out that the charming village of Vars is a top place for a ski holiday. High up in the Alps, surrounded by larch forests, its scenery is second to none and its pretty tree-lined runs are a great place to learn to ski. Along with plenty of runs for intermediate and expert skiers, plus a brilliant snow record, a brand-new lift system and sunny slopes, Vars really is a great place to be!
