Insider Tips

  1. Orelle is the secret back door to Val Thorens — park free and avoid the crowds.

  2. The Orelle telecabine connects directly to the Cime de Caron at 3,200m.

  3. Very few people know about this access point, so the slopes are always quiet.

  4. No accommodation at the base — it's a day-tripper access point. Stay in the Maurienne valley.
