Orcières-Merlette - Ski Resort and Snow Summary
Skiing in Orcières-Merlette
Orcières-Merlette - Ski Resort in French Alps - 85km of Piste (1850m to 2730m)
Unfortunately the 15-floor buildings at this purpose built centre have won little critical acclaim, but the surrounding scenery is awesome and the weather and skiing both good, meaning slopes can be crowded.
Orcières-Merlette is open until December 15, 2013
according to the Snow Conditions.
