We discovered the magic of the French Southern Alps!

Welcome to your holiday destination, where adventure and relaxation meet in the enchanting setting of the Southern Alps. 

After three years of searching across the south of France for the perfect place to continue our lives and start a holiday accommodation, we finally found our ‘little paradise’ in April 2022: a charming flat in the picturesque mountain hamlet of Le Mélézet, located on the border between the Hautes-Alpes and the Alpes-de-Haute-Provence, close to the splendid Lac de Serre-Ponçon. This idyllic location offers the perfect blend of majestic mountain scenery and a warm Mediterranean ambience. Find out why it's the ideal destination for your next holiday!

A dream location

In April 2022, we discovered the region around Les Orres, Embrun and the fascinating blue lake of Serre-Ponçon for the first time. It was love at first sight! With over 2400 hours of sunshine a year and a Mediterranean climate, but tempered by the altitude, this region is a real pleasure to explore. Summer days are warm and sunny, while winters invite you to enjoy sporting activities in the snow and sunshine. Each season has its own unique charm, perfect for an active holiday full of adventure in an exceptional natural setting. 

In mid-2022, we took the plunge and bought our flat, “Alp-osud”. We've completely renovated it so you can enjoy modern luxury in a traditional setting.

    For adventure lovers

    The Les Orres region is a paradise for thrill-seekers. From spectacular mountain hikes to thrilling water sports, there's something here for everyone! Enjoy a wide range of summer and winter activities, including skiing, snowboarding, mountain biking, sailing and swimming in Lac de Serre-Ponçon or Embrun. Whether you're into hiking, canyoning, paragliding or just enjoying the autumn colours, there's something for everyone, all year round.

    Authentic charm

    Situated in the Massif du Parpaillon, opposite the Parc National des Écrins, Les Orres and its region offers breathtaking views over the magnificent Lac de Serre-Ponçon. Far from mass tourism, Les Orres offers a warm and friendly atmosphere, with a lively activity in high season. Here you can combine the beauty of nature with the richness of local culture, in a relaxed atmosphere and over delicious mountain dishes with a southern touch. The friendly locals will be delighted to share their passion for this exceptional region.
