Ski area Orcières Merlette 1850
With the "Orcières Merlette" lift pass, you have approx. 100 kilometres of piste at your disposal. The ski area has a total altitude difference of 875 metres. The perfect infrastructure and the unique climatic conditions of the ski area make skiing holidays here a unique experience for all generations. The 6-seater high-speed chair lift takes skiers from the Roche-Rousse plateau to Lac des Estaris in just five minutes. The seats also feature new safety technology for children.
The Drouvet and Méollion piste areas, which are particularly popular with alpine skiers, can be reached directly from the resort. The peak of Drouvet and the northern slopes of Serre-Eyraud are particularly challenging. The ascent to the extensive slopes between Rocherousse and Lac des Estaris takes a little longer.
On the Plateau de Rocherousse, at an altitude of 2,280 metres, snowboarders will find a snowpark and a special boardercross course on the Piste de Rochasson.

Après ski Orcières Merlette 1850
After a day on the piste, Orcières Merlette is the perfect place to round off the day in a sporty way. The focus here is on unusual sports in particular - from ice climbing to dog sledding, ice paintball and quad tours to skijoring or snowbike tours. Also worth mentioning are unusual activities such as an overnight stay in an igloo or the so-called "snake sledge", where at least ten sledges slide down the slope linked together. The "Le Grand Ourse" sports centre, on the other hand, focuses more on classic-style activities: swimming, bowling, ice skating, but also relaxing in the wellness area. For children, there is the junior version, "Le Petit Ourse", a centre with a nursery, children's club, ski kindergarten and indoor and outdoor playground.
The real après ski fans turn night into day from midnight to 5 a.m. in the "Yeti Club". Those who would rather just meet up for a beer can visit "The New Guest Pub".
