Orcières Merlette 1850

"Orcières Merlette is a fantastic ski resort that offers everything you could want for a perfect winter getaway! The slopes are well-maintained and suitable for all skill levels, from beginners to experienced skiers. It also boasts stunning panoramic views of the surrounding Alps. Beyond skiing, there are plenty of additional activities like ice skating, sledding, and swimming pools, making it great for families. The organization and accessibility are excellent, and the staff is very friendly. Highly recommended for an unforgettable winter holiday!"

"Great ski center especially for families with children. Convenient location of accommodation on the slope, free advantage in the price of the ski pass (skipas horizont) entrance to the pool and skating. You need to wear a licra swimsuit to the pool! Skate rental is also free. We are happy to come back here."

"Summer visits. We took the lifts to the top and walked down. Great views and nice walk (3 to 4 hours walk), nice lakes and well indicated paths, art work integrated to the environment to see on your descent. Good day trip if in the region"

"Amazing ski resort, I can't comment on the stay since I went there for a day, but the ski slope are amazing there. Even more for someone like me, who is relatively new to skiing but still good enough to do the European blue slopes. Had a fun day at the resort and I would definitely go again."

"Minus five stars, if I could... Our son got hit by a cable of one of their skilifts, which came off. Broke his arm in a nasty way and was flewn to the hospital by a chopper. The resort was and is not taking any responsibility for it, no apologies, no reimbursement, nothing. Could also have been his neck, but they did not seem to care at all. Next day the piece of trash lift opened up again, as if nothing had happened. Only thing they could think of is asking me to pay the chopper bill. Well, you can imagine the discussion there, since I refused. Worthless bunch of people, typical French mentality.. Urghhhhh :-( Do NOT go here."
