Orcieres in winter

Orcieres has a range of different cross country skiing areas: It is the nordic domain of the Haut-Champsaur.

The cross country ski pistes link several villages together. From Pont du Fosse, it is possible to cross country ski (traditional style) or skate all the way to the Base de Loisirs and then to Les Borels in the Champoleon valley. This long traverse is a beautiful way to appreciate the frozen banks of the river Drac and it's snow covered surroundings.

Higher up at the Trois Serres plateaux (1350m) in Saint-Léger les Mélèzes  and the Roche Rousse plateaux (2300m) in Orcières, you can cross country ski over wide open space with lots of sun..
