Accommodation - Self Catering Residences

In the ski villages and the large ski resort of Orcieres 1850 there are a number of newly built residences offering a range of apartment sizes and facilities.

We have chosen some of our favourite ones - chosen for the quality of their accommodation, facilities, professionalism and friendliness.

Most ski apartments are quite small so for example a 4 person apartment often only has one double or twin bedroom and the other two people have a sofa bed in the open plan living area. So if you want a bit of space or would like to avoid sleeping in the living room it is worth upgrading to a larger apartment.
