Era incantevole alloggio , fuori porta piscina era calda che vi siamo andati in, prima della sala di vapore , grattugiare posizione 2 minuti a piedi per le piste da sci , il personale nei negozi erano sempre gentile e disponibile, e le scuole di sci era eccellente, l'unica cosa che id dire è che se non si parla o capisce francese imparare un po' prima di andare come il 90% del resort non capire o capire molto poco inglese ma grattugiare resort e guardando a tornarci

Les Orres Another ski holiday through Crystal from Doncaster to Turin, transfer to Les Orres is about 3.15 hours. Don’t expect the driver to do a toilet stop or the driver to unlock the toilet in the bus as they don’t like cleaning it. I probably can’t blame them. The Crystal rep will try to sell you a useless loyalty card to use in the resort. They information pack was informative and the hotel was prepared for our arrival. We booked at Combre d’or (at 1850) which was a pleasant surprise from the usual Crystal cheapest, smallest apartments we have managed to stay in. This is recently newly built and not too bad at all. It’s a spacious 1 room apartment with a 2 person sofa bed and double bed to sleep 4 in total. The toilet space has room for a wash basin but it was not present and cleaning your hands afterwards it perhaps not something they would do but I like to., The shower area is spacious and with the missing wash basin! The air vents are disgustingly filthy and never cleaned, probably a health and safety issue to consider. The hotel has an outside swimming pool so bring your flippers. They give you a week free access on two separate computers ids. So the three of us were always fighting over two computers, I know we’re sad but what do you do without the internet in the cold evenings. Nothing else to do in Les Orres. The skis and boards are kept in a separate room downstairs with easy access to the piste, about 50-75 meters away from the hotel. You can ski to it but not from it as it is slightly upwards to reach the piste. The ski resort is very quiet even at half term and it was fantastic almost not to have to wait to get onto the lifts. Skiing in this place is good with enough for all skiers with different ability. However, the advance skier will do it all in one or two days. Usual lifts but no cabins at all and this makes the place look a little ancient. Very difficult for anyone to do any cross country skiing as it is not well promoted at all and away from the main pistes. Yes, there is a bus service but you have to ask the tourist information first, Crystal didn’t mention it at all. Not a lot of restaurants on the mountains and certainly overpriced and happy to take your money for maximal profits, hot chocolate for 4 euro’s is too much. There is a nice take away place at 1850 and for about 13 euro you get a pizza that is a great size and enough for two to share. I bought my bread, milk etc in the morning at the Shop at the end of the village only because the owner/manager was just a nice friendly man who had a genuine interest in whom you are and where you came from. It was still a bit expensive but same as all mountain supermarkets. Is there anything to do from a nightlife perspective, no and thank you it is a lovely place for skiing and not for getting drunk? Good for family but the long transfer and the mature skier that comes there to ski and ski alone. Please don’t tell anyone else. Not bad at all for a Crystal holiday.
