Les Orres Ski Resort:
The new resort of Les Orres Bois Méan, at an altitude of 1800 metres in a carefully preserved mountain environment amidst a vast forest of larches, was created in 2008. The resort is a paradise for families and young children. Bois Méan is able to meet all the expectations of families on holiday with their children of all ages: a day-care centre for those aged from 6 months to 5 years equipped with an outdoor playground, a snow park for 3 to 6 year olds and the Juni-Orres Club for the 6 to 12 year-olds.
Thanks to its high altitude and its exposure to the north, the resort benefits from excellent snowfall together with
all the brightness of an already Mediterranean climate.
